WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The second wine of Grand Cru Classe Chateau Fonplegade from St-Emilion. In a very good vintage that doesn’t need long cellaring this is drinking well now. Fleur De Fonplegade is a blend of 95% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc from vines that average 30 years and 16 month spent aging in 1 year old oak.
Creamy red berry fruits are supported by toasty vanilla oak and pencil lead on the nose. The palate offers generous plum and red current fruit with fine, silky tannins.
