Château-Figeac - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2020 :

 

Introducing Château Figeac: Saint-Émilion's Premier Grand Cru Classé 'A' Star

As one of the most prestigious properties in Bordeaux, Château Figeac has earned its place among the elite Premier Grand Cru Classé 'A'. Its gravel soils allow for an unusually high proportion of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it a distinctive, structured, and incredibly age-worthy style that is often referred to as the 'Left Bank of the Right Bank'.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• Appearance: A radiant, deep garnet, evolving into a beautiful, mature terracotta over time.
• Aromatics: Elegant and profound, displaying layers of cassis, pencil shavings, cedar, truffles, and a characteristic minty freshness.
• Flavour Profile: Medium-to-full bodied, with a dense core of dark berry fruit and notable tension. The tannins are firm and beautifully integrated, leading to a persistent, mineral-driven, and floral finish.
