Spanning 54 hectares in the heart of Saint Emilion with vines dating back to 1921 and being just one of fourteen properties listed as Premier Grand Cru Classe, the grounds date back to the Gallo-Roman times. Château Figeac gets its distinctive style from the combination of three different grape varieties planted in Günzian gravel, blue clay soils. This wine is a blend of 37% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes:
“The first vintage since they were crowned Premier Grand Cru Classé A (although not on the label until 2022), and it's a confident showing straight out of the gate. Barely puts a foot wrong as the concentrated nature of this wine En Primeur begin to melt into a creamier expression of raspberry, blackberry and cassis fruits, studded with turmeric, cardamon, white pepper, peony, tobacco leaf, pomegranate, liquorice and smoked earth. 75% of the production in the 1st wine, harvest a long and leisurely five weeks from September 4 to October 1. 37hl/ha. An upscore.” Score: 98 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, January 2023
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with charcuterie, red, white & game meat and cheese.
