"Fleur de Fonplégade 2021 has an attractive purple color. The nose reveals
intense notes of red fruit, reminiscent of wild strawberries and slightly acid
red berries. On the palate, the attack is fresh and dynamic. The second part of
the tasting gives us a pleasant creamy sensation, coating complex red fruit
aromas. Delicate tannins express the excellent balance of this wine."
A precocious second label of Ch Fonplegade, Fleur de Fonplegade is owned by Stephen and Denise Adams, owners of Pomerol’s acclaimed Chateau l’Enclos and Napa Valley’s organically farmed White Cottage Winery with the help of consultant Michel Roland and organically produced. 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc - mostly from young vines, from 27 individual blocks spread over 7 levels of flat and terraced vineyards, all with different soils. It highlights the lush, generous and vibrant fruit of the clay/limestone terroir. With velvety tannins and terrific length, the quality of these vineyards is evident, being in close proximity to Chateau L’Arrosée, Canon La Gaffeliére and Chateau Angelus.
