Château FIGEAC
1er grand cru classé
- 2009
- 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.

Rated 97/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « La puissance sanguine et la chaleur de l’année ont pris du galon. Si l’on reste dans le profil solaire, le caractère de Figeac prend le dessus à l’élevage, affinant l’ensemble » (Sept. 2021)
Rated 97/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Figeac is outrageously beautiful. Rich, deep and ample, the 2017 soars out of the glass with vertical intensity and explosive power. The flavors are just pulsing with energy. [...] The 2017 is a real "wow" wine; don't miss it » (March 2020)
Rated 100/100 by En Magnum « Ce qui est certain, c'est que 2018 fera date. C'est l'un des très grands vins du millésime et le sommet absolu de la Rive droite » (Apr. 2020)
