Château Figeac

Château Figeac is a highly rated and well regarded wine estate in the Saint-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. Figeac's eponymous flagship wine is known for its rich nose, silky texture and elegance, and for its aging potential in better vintages. Figeac was rated as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in the 1955 Saint-Émilion Classification – a status it retained through every subsequent iteration of the classification until 2022, when it was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé (A). Figeac becomes one of the most sought-after Right Bank Bordeaux reds especially after World War II. 

The 2016 Figeac was bottled at the end of July 2018, since Frédéric Faye (winemaker) wanted to give the wine more time in barrel to develop more harmony. The stunning 24-carat bouquet rivets you to the spot with brilliant delineation and mineral-rich red fruit that articulates its terroir as well as any Right Bank you will find. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, perfect acidity, wonderfully integrated new oak and enormous depth toward the fresh, pencil-box- and cedar-infused finish.
