L'Esquisse de La Tour Figeac
Behind L'Esquisse de La Tour Figeac in Saint-Émilion, in the Libournais on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, stands the second reading of a historic Grand Cru estate. L’Esquisse is made from the younger Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines of Château La Tour Figeac.Its origin lies in the celebrated Figeac sector, where sand, gravel and clay elements give Saint-Émilion a different accent from the pure limestone plateau. The name Esquisse, meaning sketch, suits its role: it reveals the château’s handwriting in a more immediate yet carefully composed form.
The focus is not monumentality but origin in outline. Parcel selection, Right Bank blending, measured élevage and respect for the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation create a profile where youthful vines and classic Bordeaux culture meet with quiet precision.
