History of the Château Fonplégade

The vineyard of Château Fonplégade, located near Saint-Emilion, with an area of 18 hectares, was in operation from the 2nd century AD, during the Roman Empire. It belonged to the Duc de Morny, half-brother of Napoleon III, to a bank and it was finally purchased in 2004 by an American businessman Stephen Adams, passionate about the wines of Bordeaux.

Fonplégade is one of the oldest vineyards in Saint-Emilion, but it is now also one of the most modern farms on the right bank of Bordeaux by the use of new machines, and its conversion to organic viticulture. Wine quality resulting from the specificity of this region between tradition and modernity.

Travellers' review - Château Fonplégade

  • Naturellment Bio stay in St Emilion: Formidable!

    Day 1: - Visit to the organic farm Oh! Légumes Oubliés: the tasting of products was excellent and original. - Overnight at the Cabane de La Romaningue in the "Sauternes" cabin, perched 8 meters up on a two-hundred-year-old oak: magnificent, peaceful and relaxing. - Dinner in the cabin: the hot basket to be assembled using a pulley is very original and the meal delicious. Day 2: - Breakfast, still to be assembled using a pulley: copious and famous. - Visit to Saint-Emilion. - Lunch at Château Ambe Tour Pourret: cheese platter accompanied by 3 glasses of wine to taste the Château's products, delicious. - Blending workshop at Château Soutard with visit and tasting: great welcome and the workshop is a very good idea. - Visit to Château Fonplégade with tasting of 2 Pomerols and 2 St Emilions: top wines. The itinerary was different from the one advertised on your site, but all in all it was a win-win situation, and the 3 châteaux we visited in St Emilion were excellent choices (taste, welcome, importance of the properties). And the night we spent 8m up in the air will stay with us for a long time. Bravo VinoTrip!!!
