`Figeac 2004 is a mature-vintage, blended red wine from the 1er Grand Cru Classé A St Emilion property of Château 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. "Dark ruby. Quite intense, focused, precise nose. Easy and already mature. Fresh and very Figeac. If you wanted to use claret as a mouthwash this would do very nicely indeed! Quite marked acidity. And only medium bodied but very nicely balanced. Good for current drinking. Impressive, neat persistence." Jancis Robinson MW, 2014

Although it was my favorite decade for this Saint-Émilion, the 2004 Figeac has always quietly impressed with its quality. This ex-château bottle, opened for my wedding anniversary, shows beautifully at 15 years old. Still deep in color with modest bricking on the rim, it has a seductive bouquet of black fruit, mulberry, graphite and fireside hearth. Decanting for three hours clearly benefits the aromatics, which leap in intensity with aeration. The palate is classic Figeac, equidistant between Left and Right Bank in style, touches of dark chocolate and clove infusing the dark berry fruit. The tannins have softened since I last tasted this wine, rendering it perfectly drinkable now, although it will easily give another 15 years of pleasure. Tasted at home. Neal Martin1st December 2019

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.
