A Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, Château Figeac embodies the pinnacle of elegance and refinement from the western plateau shared with Pomerol. Awarded the top 4-star rating by RVF, Figeac continues to excel, reaching its fullest expression in warm vintages and revealing its true character after a decade or more of aging.
Unique in both terroir and style, Figeac has a distinctive charm, driven by its uncommon blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot in equal parts, crafting wines of exceptional pedigree that only grow more distinguished with time. |

With a disarming authenticity, the 2019 Château Figeac Saint-Emilion Grand Cru reveals a powerful yet refined structure, featuring noble, silky tannins and a strikingly dense, vibrant character. Radiant aromas of peony, Sichuan pepper, and blackcurrant, along with the hallmark hint of graphite, unfold seamlessly, all elevated by a carefully executed aging process. This Figeac is brilliant, precise, and intensely smooth, shaped by the captivating rigor of Cabernet and the sensuality of Merlot. Rated 98/100 by RVF, 97/100 by Parker, and 99/100 by Bettane+Desseauve. 'A Figeac that stands at the pinnacle not only of Saint-Emilion but of Bordeaux’s classified growths!' says Michel Bettane. |
