The estate and the wine |
|
|
The 1er Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion (Saint Emilion First Growth), Château Figeac represents the quintessence of the elegance and refinement of the wines of the western plateau that Saint-Emilion shares with Pomerol.
Unique in terroir and in style, Figeac is an estate like no other, propelled by an atypical grape variety, with a parity between Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, that creates wine of exceptional balance that only become more intense with some years of aging. |
|
|
| |
|
The 2019 Red Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Petit-Figeac is a perfect representation of the style of the vintage, albeit in a more immediate and less austere version. Resulting from a specific blend of grape varieties, it comes from the same selection as the grapes of the estate’s first wine. Lighter and less deep, it offers a very fine texture and a seductive finish. A perfect introduction to the estate’s style and spirit! |
