Château Figeac 2019 - 1st Great Cru Class B
CHATEAU-FIGEAC, 1er Grand Cru Classé de Saint Emilion, offers the elegance and refinement of the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
Unique, recognizable, distinguished, CHATEAU-FIGEAC expresses all the elegance of the great Bordeaux wines. It draws its character from an exceptional and complex terroir, marked by 3 rumps of Güntzian gravel. Resulting from a grape variety 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 30% Merlot, its dominant of Cabernet is one of its characteristics. Its unique style is revealed and enriched over time.
This great wine is distinguished by a rich nose and a beautiful aromatic complexity. On the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon reveals, when young, a beautiful floral aspect accompanied by great structure as it ages. The Cabernet Franc brings a lot of finesse to the tannins and the Merlot brings roundness and body. The attack is frank, the silky matter, the elegant complexity.
Commentaire By Château Figeac
Dark, intense, beautiful and purple color. Nose very aromatic, fine, fruity, pure, with a touch of half Pomerol, half Saint-Emilion. This nose has never been so close this year to that of Cheval Blanc. It was only after this observation that I realized that Figeac has 36% Cabernet Franc, the highest proportion it has ever had. The mouth has a magical touch, where the wine melts, caresses, stretches, with a fine fatness that lets itself be sucked on the finish. It is not tannin, but a fat texture which is the sign of a very great wine place. Divine sensation.
