Château Fonplégade St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2018

An estate that has demonstrated how much impact biodynamic farming can have, officially certified in 2020 but in full conversion in 2018 (after organic certification 5 years earlier). The tannins are pretty hefty, but they have juice running between them, powering the brambled black and blue fruits forward through the palate. Freshly cut herbs and crushed mint leaf accompany the finish. 50% new oak, 30% one year barrels, 10% cement eggs, 10% amphora.
