Expert Reviews
Clearly deeper and richer than the 2013, and in fact as it opens up in the glass you see just how Fonplégade has started to get into its stride at this point, full flowing in energy and depth. Gourmet but with clear pulses of minerality. This has St Emilion character in that you feel the glamour and the contemporary appeal, but is also packed full of bright brambly fruit and has a real sense of energy. Fresh and mouth-watering on the finish - not a lot to complain about. 60% new oak, 25% one year and the rest in cement eggs. Stéphane Dernenourt joins Michel Rolland in the consultancy team from this vintage. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040.
