For Denise and Stephen Adams, a love of winegrowing began on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Château Fonplégade is the family’s original biodynamic winegrowing estate, located on the southwest limestone slopes of Saint-Émilion. 

Once hallowed ground for pilgrims who stopped at its historic stone fountain, the château today is a place alive with music, where French refinement meets American hospitality.
