Chateau Figeac St Emilion 1er GCC 2019, 6 x 75cl

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. 

Tasting Notes:

“This is a gorgeous Figeac, balanced and finessed and full of promise for the future - and interesting to note that its blend is almost back to the classic third-of-each-variety of the pre-Rolland days. Just love the clarity and the chiselled quality to the fruits, blueberries, bilberries, cassis - all smooth, concentrated, with excellent acidity but high sweetness, and muscular tannins. Clear smoked sandalwood also but not a hint of dryness, and will clearly melt together with another five or six years in the bottle. Can't wait to follow this wine as it ages. Cigar smoke and grilled sandalwood on the finish, the poise and precision on display here is just unmissable. Harvest September 13 to October 17, 100% new oak.” Score: 98 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, March 2022
