Chateau Figeac Description

Château-Figeac / SAINT-ÉMILION GRAND CRU / PREMIER GRAND CRU CLASSÉ A

A Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé "A", Château Figeac is one of the most prestigious in Bordeaux.

The château’s reputation is due to its fabulous terroir, consisting of three gravelly rises that account for the highest proportion of Cabernet on the Right Bank. Each vintage is made with the greatest of care in the vineyard and the cellar. Château Figeac produces truly great, elegant wines with a unique character and remarkably reliable quality. They also age outstandingly well.

Decanter: 98 Points

Wine Advocate: 98-100 Points

A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cassis mingled with notions of iris, forest floor, cigar wrapper and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and beautifully refined tannins. Serious yet civilized, it's the quintessential Figeac, testament to the late Thierry Manoncourt's vision to plant such a large proportion of Cabernet, and on drought-resistant rootstocks. Such is the inherent complexity of Figeac's terroirs that harvest took place sub-block by sub-block between September 1st and 25th. Congratulations are in order for the Manoncourt family, director Frédéric Faye, consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos and all their team.
