Château La Tour Figeac: A St-Émilion Grand Cru Classé of Distinction

Hailing from the prestigious Right Bank, Château La Tour Figeac is a Grand Cru Classé that neighbours the iconic estates of Cheval Blanc and Figeac. The property’s unique gravel and clay-sand soils impart a complexity and depth often likened to the best of Pomerol. With an unwavering focus on quality, including organic certification since 2021, this wine is a true connoisseur's choice.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, saturated purple hue.
• Aroma: Rich and expressive, showcasing concentrated dark bramble fruits (plum, blackcurrant) layered with elegant notes of cedar, tobacco, and a signature hint of violet.
• Taste: Generous and well-structured, the palate boasts a velvety texture and fine-grained, persistent tannins. It displays a perfect harmony between ripe fruit and refreshing acidity, leading to a long, memorable finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Serve between 16-18°C. This classic Bordeaux demands equally classic British fare. Decant for a couple of hours to allow the wine's full character to emerge, especially for younger vintages.
