Under the stewardship of Stephen and Denise Adams since 2004, the estate prioritises sustainable viticulture.

Robert Parker
The 2000 is the finest Fonplegade in nearly two decades. Thankfully, there are 4,000 cases of this structured, deep, concentrated wine, with high levels of tannin, but equally impressive levels of extract and richness. Medium to full-bodied, with plum, black currant, and cherry fruit intermixed with mineral and earth, this pure, rich St.-Emilion is an admirable achievement. It is a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity. 2005-2018. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
