2015 Fonplegade

The Fonplégade 2015 is even better in the bottle than in the barrel and is absolutely superb. Rich and lush, but superbly refined, the 2015 exudes class. The notes of dark cherries, plums, espresso, rose petals and blood oranges unfold effortlessly. With time in the glass, the wine's brightness, tension and energy come to the fore. Everything about this 2015 speaks of balance. This is a great achievement by owners Stephen and Denise Adams and their team, which also includes Stéphane Derenoncourt and Michel Rolland.
