This magnum contains 1.5 liters of Château Fonplégade 2018 from Saint-Émilion. The estate is situated on limestone-rich slopes and has a special connection to the landscape surrounding the historic town. The larger bottle makes the wine ideal for cellaring and sharing later.
Château Fonplégade is located on the slopes of Saint-Émilion, where the limestone and the vineyards’ location contribute to the wine’s character. The estate’s name is associated with springs and water. The year 2018 began in Bordeaux with a wet spring and challenges in the vineyard. This was followed by a warm, dry summer, allowing for the harvest of highly ripe grapes. In Fonplégade’s wine, this concentration is combined with the fresh vibrancy that Saint-Émilion enthusiasts appreciate. Merlot plays a significant role in the blend. The magnum holds twice the volume of a standard bottle. This alters the ratio of wine to oxygen under the cork, which—when stored properly—can support a more gradual evolution of the wine. The size is also ideal for a dinner with multiple guests. This way, a special wine literally gets more space at the table.
Expect notes of ripe plums, black cherries, violets, cedar, and a hint of spice. The flavor is full-bodied and refined, with tannins that complement the fruit. Further aging in the bottle can deepen the aromas.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, beef, duck, or mushroom dishes.
