Figeac Half 2015

Château Figeac was the only estate to be upgraded to Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the 2022 classification of Saint-Émilion. Owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892, this fine estate traces its history back to the Roman era. Today, the property spans approximately 40 hectares of vineyards, with the majority of the grapes going into the celebrated Grand Vin, a classic style of Saint-Émilion with wonderful texture and tannic power. The 2015 vintage is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 28% Cabernet Franc. The nose evokes spiced plum jam, blackcurrants, hints of redcurrants, cacao nibs and violets. With a medium to full-bodied profile, the palate is rich, showcasing impeccably ripe, fine-grained tannins and freshness, culminating in a fragrant long finish.
