Chateau Fonplegade Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2021
'Château Fonplégade's name (literally ''fountain of plenty'') was derived from the historic 13th century stone fountain that graces the estate's vineyard. It quenched the thirst of passing pilgrims for hundreds of years, and continues to provide sustenance to the estate's vines in the driest vintages. Grapevines have thrived at this exceptional site, perched on the limestone plateau that is home to Saint-Emilion's finest vineyards, since the late 1500s. In 1852, legendary wine merchant Jean-Pierre Beylot purchased the estate and built the elegant château that still stands on the property. Enchanted by the terroir, history and grandeur of the estate, with its ancient Roman pathways and graceful vine rows, Denise and Stephen Adams acquired Château Fonplégade in 2004 and spent 17 years tirelessly revitalizing the vineyards, renovating the cellar and lovingly restoring the château. A pioneer in the Bordeaux region, they received their organic certification in 2013 followed by biodynamic certification in 2020.'
Pommard En Boeuf, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2019
The Pommard appellation in the Côte de Beaune is renowned for its powerful and structured Pinot Noir wines. Éric's 2019 "En Boeuf" has excellent aging potential; enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit and robust structure, and as it ages, the tannins will soften, and the wine will develop more complex, tertiary notes of dried fruit, underbrush, and savoury nuances. Enjoy it with rich and hearty dishes such as beef bourguignon, roasted lamb, duck breast, venison, and mushroom-based dishes. We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here...
