Chateau Figeac,
For laying down,
Figeac’s 2016 is cerebral. Deep, black cherry in colour, it has aromas of dark fruit, with a little spice, blue fruit and cedar. The palate is marked by a glorious freshness, a saline character and a crisp, juicy finish. Concentration and elegance: it’s focused with a long finish.
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 38%, Merlot 36%, Cabernet Franc 26%

Château Figeac is one of the leading St. Emilion estates and its wine, with its high Cabernet content, has often been described as the most Médoc-like in St-Emilion. Since 2010 Figeac has been managed by Comte Eric d’Aramon and his wife Laure. It is located in the north-west of the appellation with its vineyards adjoining those of Cheval Blanc. Its 40 hectares of vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet Franc 35%) lie on a deep, Médoc-like gravel topsoil ('Graves') over a flinty, iron-rich subsoil.
The alcoholic fermentation takes place in wood and the malolactic in stainless steel. The wine is matured in 100% new oak barriques for 18-22 months. Ideally, the wines need at least 10 years-bottle ageing to show at their best. Figeac is classified as a 1er Grand Cru Classé (B).
