Château Figeac (2019) St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe
New
The Cabernet Franc initially dominates the nose with savoury, seashell notes alongside vibrant plum and blueberry fruit. But dig deeper and you can pick out blackcurrant, blackcurrant leaf, lifted white flower notes from Cabernet Sauvignon – and then at the next level you have the caramel and wild strawberry of Merlot. The intensity and latent energy lifts the palate sending waves of glossy, juicy, almost painfully intense acidity across the palate. Such precision and focus!

The estate
As a Premier Grand Cru Classé, Château-Figeac embodies the excellence of Saint-Emilion's fine wines throughout the world. Château-Figeac has belonged to the Manoncourt family since 1892.
The vineyard
Château-Figeac enjoys an exceptional location as it is situated to the west of the Saint-Emilion appellation, on the fringe of the Pomerol appellation. The estate's vineyard covers 40 hectares of vines that are planted on three different gravelly hills. Respect for biodiversity and the flora and fauna are at the very heart of the estate's concerns. The grape varieties are Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The vintage
A stunning vivid wine, the 2019 Figeac may very well turn out to be one of the wines of the vintage, when all is said and done. Cabernet Franc is 36%, a bit higher than the norm, which has been closer to 30%. The 100% new oak is barely perceptible. Rich and dramatic in the glass, the 2019 soars with magnificent intensity. Graphite, cured meats, smoke, licorice, menthol and spice develop with aeration, but the 2019 is dense and very primary today. It is a truly grand Grand Vin in the making.
The vinification and ageing
Particular care and attention was provided to the fruit throughout the vinification process, with gentle extractions and low fermentation temperatures in order to preserve the freshness, aromatic complexity and balance of the juice.
The blend
This Château-Figeac 2019 accurately reflects the identity of each of the three grape varieties that make up its blend. The freshness and elegance of the Cabernet Franc grapes (36%) blends harmoniously with the finesse and smoothness of the Cabernet Sauvignon (34%) and the roundness of the Merlot grapes (30%).
