Château Figeac 2015 is a St-Emilion blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc. This vintage represents the first year the estate implemented a new protocol to reduce oxygen contact during the first year of élevage, which took place in 100% new French oak for 18 months. The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the estate’s gravel outcrops, provides a structural framework and a profile of graphite and blackcurrant that distinguishes it from the Merlot-dominant wines typical of the Right Bank.

Love this vintage of Figeac, and it is fully delivering at the ten year point, still teetering on the edge of its mature drinking window. Brambled fleshy black fruits, firm tannins, edge of cocoa, incense, steel and mandarin peel, grip and length. Great quality. Harvest September 21 to October 15, 100% new oak for ageing.

The 2015 Figeac has an opulent, peppermint-infused bouquet with pure black fruit, violet and eucalyptus scents emerging with time. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins. This is not a powerful Right Bank, yet it's pixelated and precise. The spine of acidity is well judged, gently fanning out on the saline- and licorice-tinged finish. The 2015 is excellent. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.
