Little was made of this terrific Saint Emilion – spring frosts meant yields were down to half the normal. It certainly makes up for scarcity in quality. The upside was that Cabernet Sauvignon performed very well, hence the outstanding quality of this claret, aged in pure new oak. There's wonderful vibrancy with a refreshing line cutting through the crunchy black fruits and a firm, finely grained frame, finishing long and spicy.
The 2017 is a real "wow" wine; don't miss it.

The 2017 Figeac is outrageously beautiful. Rich, deep and ample, it soars out of the glass with vertical intensity and explosive power. The flavours are just pulsing with energy. Time in the glass brings out a captivating range of lavender, spice, mint and rose petal overtones.
The 2017 Figeac is a towering achievement from Technical Director Frédéric Faye and his team. When Michel Rolland was appointed consulting winemaker some years back, many feared the personality of Figeac would be lost. It is impossible for an outsider to truly know how small or large the impact of a single person is, but Figeac has indisputably been one of the very finest wines of the Right Bank over these last few years. The 2017 is a real "wow" wine; don't miss it.
