Lisa Perotti Brown bewertet das Fassmuster am 27.04.2018 in der Ausgabe 236 des Wine Advocate wie folgt: The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Fonplegade has quite a spicy nose sporting notes of anise. cloves. fenugreek and black pepper over a core of warm black plums and blackberries plus a waft of potpourri. Medium-bodied with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness. it features bags of vibrant black fruits and a long. spicy finish.
Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster im Mai 2018 wie folgt:The 2017 Fonplégade has a very classy bouquet with very pure blackberry and raspberry fruit. hints of cassis developing with aeration. The fruit is very well knitted with the oak. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin. crisp acidity. superb structure and delivers a really detailed and convincing finish. Bravo. This is an outstanding Saint-Émilion. - Neal Martin
James Suckling bewertet das Fassmuster am 05.04.2018 wie folgt:This shows a very pretty center palate with blueberries. blackberries and white pepper. Solid tannins and structure. Long and flavorful.
Unsere Einschätzung zu diesem Wein in der SUB 2017: Eines der absoluten Schnäppchen und ein
"unter dem Radar Geheimtipp" aus Saint Emilion. genau aus dem Terroir wo es in diesem Jahrgang die grosses Überraschungen gab ( La Gaffeliere / Belair Monange / Canon )
