The team at La Tour Figeac were thrilled by the quality of their 2022, which is their second vintage organically certified. The blend 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, although the estate is replanting so that there will be 50% of each variety. The deep clay in certain parcels saved the vines from the drought. The wine has a dark glossy purple colour, good intensity, beautiful aromas of violets, peonies and spring blossom. There is a good buzz here: lively, sweet and fresh, with a good vein of acidity. There is medium weight, so not as rich as some wines but everything is in its place. Tannins are lively and well-integrated as is the alcohol. Very pretty and poised and living up to its good location, surrounded by Cheval Blanc and Figeac on the border with Pomerol.
