Château Figeac 2020 - 1st Great Cru Class B

Unique, recognizable, distinguished, CHATEAU-FIGEAC expresses all the elegance of great Bordeaux.

Château-Figeac owes its singular character to the unique combination of three gravelly hillsides with clay subsoils, several microclimates and a grape variety composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

This original blend, dominated by 2/3 Cabernet, gives the wine structure, finesse, freshness and smoothness. Since the beginning of this century, the wine of Château-Figeac knows how to make itself available from its first years with a touch of caressing in the mouth without losing its incomparable verticality over the years. Its longevity over several decades proves to be exceptional, with an inimitable and complex bouquet that reveals itself over time.

This great wine is distinguished by a rich nose and a beautiful aromatic complexity. In the mouth, the Cabernet Sauvignon reveals, in the youth of the wine, a beautiful floral aspect accompanied by a great structure when it gets older. The Cabernet Franc brings a lot of finesse in the tannins and the Merlot brings roundness and body. The attack is frank, the matter silky, the complexity elegant.

Since the 1945 vintage, Château Figeac has produced a second wine, created by Thierry Manoncourt.  Renamed Petit-Figeac from the 2012 vintage.
