Owner and history

Château Fonplégade spans a magnificent 18.5-hectare vineyard, located in the heart of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The plots benefit from great diversity, offering ideal conditions for viticulture. The grape varieties are 91% Merlot, accompanied by 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Since 2013, the owners have opted for organic viticulture, adopting environmentally friendly practices. Subsequently, they took a further step by converting to biodynamic farming.
