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.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of the Class of 2018<\/h3>\n<p>Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade is located on the slopes of Saint-\u00c9milion, where the limestone and the vineyards\u2019 location contribute to the wine\u2019s character. The estate\u2019s 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 Fonpl\u00e9gade\u2019s wine, this concentration is combined with the fresh vibrancy that Saint-\u00c9milion 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\u2014when stored properly\u2014can 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Aroma and taste<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Serving and Pairing<\/h3>\n<p>Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, beef, duck, or mushroom dishes.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>Compare with other Bordeaux wines in our selection:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2018-chateau-fonplegade-saint-emilion\/\">2018 Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2020-chateau-fonplegade-saint-emilion\/\">2020 Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2021-chateau-fonplegade-saint-emilion\/\">2021 Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to check out our selection <a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product-categorie\/wijn\/rode-wijn\/bordeaux\/\">Bordeaux<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Magnum contains 1.5 liters of Ch\u00e2teau Fonpl\u00e9gade 2018 from Saint-\u00c9milion.
