The estate and the wine |
|

Château-Figeac, Premier Grand Cru Classé A of Saint-Émilion, has no equal.
Its distinctive style captures the elegance and refinement that define the best of the appellation. Built on an unusual blend, Figeac leans heavily on Cabernet Franc, which brings remarkable freshness, length, and a refined, almost architectural precision.
People often say Figeac is the most Médoc-like wine in Saint-Émilion — and they’re not wrong. It’s strikingly charismatic, with a trademark clarity and structure. One taste and you immediately understand the magic of the place and what makes Figeac truly unique. |

The 2009 Figeac is striking for its depth and brilliance. The nose opens with ripe dark fruit layered with noble cedar and a touch of floral elegance that speaks of real class. On the palate, it's sleek and vibrant, driven by silky tannins and exceptional freshness. Precision is the hallmark here — a wine that balances restrained power with remarkable finesse. A masterclass in classicism and grace, and now at its peak. |
