Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)
The 2017 Fonplégade is classy, polished and simply impeccable in its balance. The Fonplégade is not a huge wine, but it has really gained in finesse over the course of its aging. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, mint and cinnamon add character to this racy, silky, exceptionally polished Saint-Émilion. Floral overtones add brightness to the finish.Inc. GSTSG$306.79 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Fonplegade strides confidently out of the glass with bold black cherries, warm plums and black raspberry scents plus hints of cedar chest, pencil shavings, lavender, garrigue and camphor. Full-bodied, rich and packed with expressive black fruits, it has a firm, velvety texture and just enough freshness, finishing long.Inc. GSTSG$489.87 -
(3x150cl) 2019Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95)

The Wine Cellar Insider (94-96)
Crushed rocks, currants, cherries, flowers, licorice, smoke, cocoa and espresso covers all the bases in the perfume. Elegant and edgy, silky, soft and mineral driven, the fruits show a beautiful purity, freshness and refinement on the palate, leaving you with salty tannins and sweet plums that continue to linger and expand in the finish. The wine is made from a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.Inc. GSTSG$379.80 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93-95)
The 2021 Fonplégade is classy and refined to the core. It possesses terrific depth, with sweet floral aromatics and fine-grained tannins that convey finesse. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and bright saline notes all meld together. Fonplégade is built more on vertical persistence than volume. It is one of the most elegant Saint-Émilions of the vintage and a terrific effort from proprietors Denise and Stephen Adams. Tasted three times.Inc. GSTSG$457.19 -

The 2013 Fonroque comes across as a bit compact, with limited depth and complexity. Sweet red berries, hard candy, flowers and tobacco take shape nicely in the glass, but the mid-palate never really blossoms, which allows the oak tannin to dominate.Inc. GSTSG$534.01 -
Decanter (96)
Power and structure in abundance, but it’s the spellbinding acidity that propels this stunning effort skyward. A shy nose of raspberries and sandalwood opens into a concentrated, long and impressively fruit driven palate (90% Merlot). Still grippy; needs time.Inc. GSTSG$364.52 -
Jeb Dunnuck (90-92)
Made from 93% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Château Fonroque has a beautifully complex nose of Christmas spice, fruit cake, sweet oak, and beautifully ripe red and black fruits. With medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, seductive texture, and sweet tannin, it's an impressive 2017 that should easily end up being an outstanding wine.Inc. GSTSG$221.05 -

Full bottle 1,325 g. Cask sample taken 7 April. Certified organic. Medium-intensity purple. Quite a distinctive nose of vegetation and herbs rather than brow-beating sweet fruit – attractive. Then on the palate there's some richness but this seems to have more elements at play than many of its peers. More transparent and expressive. Finishes decidedly dry but not drying. 14%Inc.

The Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone 1993 exemplifies the excellence of vintage French wines. Produced by Domaine du Rayas, a notable estate in Rhone Valley, this fine spirit embodies precision, grace and longevity. Revered viticulturist Jacques Reynaud was at the realm when Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone 1993 was made, employing traditional practices to intoxicate senses.
Emanating from the heart of the Rhône Valley, the Gibraud family-owned vineyards, this wine showcases the richness of Grenache grapes, benefiting from the region’s diverse, historic terroir. The old vines, mostly untouched by modern viticulture, yield character-infused grapes to create the artisanal, signature blend.
Boasting a vibrant, ruby colour, this delicate wine rewards the palate with notes of ripe fruit, sweet spice and tannins, culminating in a harmoniously prolonged finish. Enjoy the Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone 1993's grandeur, a charming reverie of French winemaking’s golden era.
