Château Figeac
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
1er Grand Cru Classé
1,5
Red
Figeac is on a roll and has celebrated the first vintage made in the new cellar with a beautiful, precise wine. The blend has more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual as is the case in many Right Bank estates. The wine is elegant and poised with very clearly defined aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, violets and a touch of laurel, cedar and mint. This exciting nose is followed by a wonderful structure of pure energy, with finely grained tannins and a vibrant finish with lingering graphite flavours. Let’s hope that this year will see the justly deserved promotion to 1er Grand Cru Classé A. A super wine. Max 36 btls.
