Since 2004, new owners from California have invested time and passion to elevate the wines of Fonplegade to new heights.. TASTING NOTES. Easy-drinking red, dominated by red-berry fruit. Tannins are present yet unthreatening; a very pleasant wine from an excellent vintage for the chateau. FOOD PAIRING. Roast beef, stews, lamb chops… very flexible, but rich, flavourful dishes are best.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. A reliable wine for dinner parties, guests will not be disappointed.
