Château Figeac Saint Emilion 1gcc. 2021 0,75l
Château Figeac is a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion, set on three gravel outcrops at the edge of the limestone plateau. Its forty or so hectares of vines are planted in an unusually Cabernet-driven mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The combination of Gunzian gravel and clay subsoils brings both left-bank structure and right-bank suppleness. The bouquet offers red and black berries, cassis and plum with violet, fresh herbs and cedar. On the palate Figeac is poised and refined, with finely woven tannins, juicy fruit and a cool, graphite-like minerality. The finish is long, savoury and elegant, underlining the estate’s singular style within Saint-Émilion.
Ageing in new oak for 15 to 18 months frames the fresh, elegant Cabernet character with fine structure.
