Chateau Petit-Figeac - St.-Emilion 2022

Add to Wish List

On the nose, the wildly appealing Merlot notes of its youth give way to striking depth that is balm to the soul of all Cabernet lovers. The wine offers structure and refinement, freshness, and smoothness. Since the early years of the present century the wine has become more approachable in its youth, offering a more caressing mouthfeel, without losing its incomparable uprightness over the years. Its ability to age for decades is quite exceptional, revealing an inimitable and complex bouquet as the years go by. The result of a specific selection when the blends are decided, Petit-Figeac is made with all the skill of the Chateau Figeac team. Lighter and less full-bodied than its senior, with beautiful length on the palate, a highly refined texture, and a great capacity to seduce, it shows its appeal earlier. Petit-Figeac offers an ideal introduction to the spirit of the estate.
