Château FIGEAC
1er grand cru classé A
- 2024 Futures
- Saint-Émilion
On a subsoil of deep gravel (alluvium of the Isle), Figeac has logically opted for a grape variety more Medoc than Libourne: 70% Cabernet (half Sauvignon and half Franc), 30% Merlot. Hence a naturalness, a freshness and a distinction unparalleled in Saint-Emilion. The latest 2022 classification has rightly corrected the omission of the previous one by granting Figeac the title of 1er grand cru classé A.
J-M Quarin: 95/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Superb, very aromatic nose, fine, pure, fruity and subtle. Delicious on the palate, with a meticulous texture and graceful touch, the wine evolves on a melting, mellow and fragrant body, towards a long, sappy and complex finish. A touch of liveliness is left to mellow with ageing." (April 2025)
