    Château Figeac

    About Château Figeac

    Château Figeac dates back to second-century Gallo-Roman origins; Undoubtedly one of the greatest producers and terroirs of the Saint-Émilion appellation, if not the whole of Bordeaux. Mentioned by experts in the same breath as Pavie, Ausone and Cheval Blanc. In 2022, the estate was promoted and awarded a Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status by the Wine Council of St-Émilion.

    Viniculture

    Once the largest property in the appellation, many plots were sold over the years to create and enlarge properties like neighbouring Château Cheval Blanc and even Pomerol’s La Conseillante. Figeac has excellent terroir, and after the estate was not awarded Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status in 2012, there was renewed determination to put the property back to its rightful place at the top of Saint-émilion. Michel Rolland was hired to consult, and Frederic Faye was appointed to oversee wine-making. The result has been a dramatic upturn in quality and critical acclaim. 

    Figeac is unusual in Saint-Émilion is situated on gravelly soils. This means a much higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes here. The wine is particularly unique, and buyers may come across a number of allusions to this - "lively and very "Figeac". A higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, as opposed to the Merlot dominant Ausone and Cheval Blanc, Figeac, is a cerebral balance of Left-Bank perfumed mint, cedar and cassis, with the wonderfully lush cashmere texture and fruit of Merlot.

    Vinous - Neal Martin (98+)

    The 2016 Figeac has a nose of real pedigree, featuring very well-defined, ferrous black fruit with hints of truffle and tobacco and conveying exceptional mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, a fine bead of acidity and wonderful structure and density toward the finish. This is a seriously fine proposition, although it is a surly Saint-Émilion that may well close down for a while before blazing brightly in 15–20 years’ time. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
