Expert Reviews
With its refined aromas of violet, blackberry, plum and salty freshness marked by a touch of vanilla, this reflects the limestone plateau (40% of the vineyard) and the clay-limestone slopes. Don't hesitate. Certified biodynamic since 2020.
Another successful vintage for this estate, the 2020 Fonplégade delivers aromas of cherries, plums, licorice and pencil shavings, follow by a medium to full-bodied, deep and refined palate that concludes with a saline, attractively floral finish. It's one 2020 that is more elegant than its 2019 counterpart.
The 2020 Fonplégade has a marine-scented bouquet with tightly knit black fruit, brine and light oyster shell aromas. The oak is well integrated. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with fine acidity. This is a very polished Right Bank wine…maybe too polished? It slips down the throat easily on the finish, but here, I would have liked more grip and tension. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
