Grape varieties and terroir

A blend faithful to the Figeac signature:

- Cabernet Franc (35%): freshness, florality, complexity

- Cabernet Sauvignon (35%): structure, tension, straightness

- Merlot (30%): volume, richness, deliciousness

The unique gravelly terroir of Saint-Émilion ensures optimal drainage and allows for slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.

Tasting

Color: Deep garnet red, bright and dense.

Nose: Of great complexity, it reveals aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), violet, graphite, with elegant spicy and woody notes (cedar, liquorice).

Palate: Full and velvety attack, precise tannic structure, balanced between density and freshness. The finish is long, carried by a superb minerality and nuances of ripe fruit and sweet spices.

Storage Potential

A vintage with great aging potential: 40 to 50 years, with remarkable aromatic development over time.

Food and Wine Pairings

An exceptional companion for:

- Rack of lamb in a herb crust
- Rossini beef fillet
- Roasted pigeon with porcini mushrooms
- Matured cheeses (Parmesan, Comté 36 months)

Description

Château Figeac has successfully capitalized on these ideal conditions thanks to its deep gravel terroir and its atypical grape varieties on the right bank. This wine is distinguished by its precision, depth, and aromatic brilliance, perfectly embodying the balance between power and elegance.
