Recently promoted to the coveted spot of Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Château-Figeac is a highly regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation. It is among the largest properties in the region, comprising 54 hectares in one single block, of which 41 hectares are vineyards. This is their grand vin from the 2019 vintage, a blend composed of 36% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Expect a very nuanced wine, displaying notes of dark forest fruit, cassis, liquorice, fine tobacco, spices, orange zest and hints of oak. Available here in a rare ‘Goliath’ bottle containing 27 litres of the wine.
The 2019 Figeac has a wonderful nose, beautifully defined with black fruit, loam, black truffle shavings and light graphite scents. Very focused and plenty of vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, intense and almost pixelated towards the vibrant, tensile finish. Effortless and classy, this should evolve gracefully for many years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. - Neil Martin - The 2019 Figeac was bottled in mid-July. Deep in color, with a bouquet that is initially backward and reticent. It requires a few minutes to shake off the veil of oak from the élevage. As I observed last year, the Cabernet Franc is very expressive this year, contributing blackberry and graphite notes and lending a more Left Bank-style bouquet. The palate is very fresh from the first moment, and very well structured, delivering layers of black fruit struck through by a fine bead of acidity. The tannins are very fine, and that crucial saline element appears toward the persistent finish. This is overtly classic in style and will require cellaring to reveal its full potential. But what potential! Chapeau, Frédéric Faye and team Manoncourt.

Chateau Figeac

Château Figeac is one of the finest producers in Saint-Émilion and is just one of fourteen properties classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in 2012, putting it firmly in the highest echelons of the region.

Owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892, the history of this superb estate can be traced back to the Roman era and today spans 40ha. The majority of the grapes produced go into producing the celebrated first wine of the estate, Château Figeac, a classic style of Saint-Émilion with wonderful texture and tannic power. A small amount of the second wine, Le Petit Figeac is also produced.
