In the latter part of this decade, Château Figeac has had a rather remarkable run of form and the 2016 is a sublime release. A blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, it is vibrant and complex in aroma, wafting from the glass with delicious notes of plum, crème de cassis, raspberry, truffle, tilled earth and a hint of wild mint so typical of Figeac. On the palate it is poised and precise, with a fine web of perfectly ripe tannins knitting together deep layers of concentrated black fruits with threads of alluring graphite minerality. This is certainly one to stash away for a few years before opening but should yield incredible rewards further down the track.

This continues a superb run for this estate, cocoa bean, creamy blackberry and damson, a ton of spiced rosemary, cedar, incense, cocoa bean espresso, cracked pepper, muscular tannins at the decade mark. Confidently judged and hard to argue with, a fabulous 2016 from St Emilion. 100% new oak for ageing.Jane Anson4th February 2026

The 2016 Figeac has a comparatively extravagant nose with vivid red cherries, strawberry, blood orange and light rosemary scents, very Saint-Émilion in style. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain, supple tannins. This is framed by a keen line of acidity, closing in towards the concentrated and peppery finish. Long-term. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. Neal Martin16th April 2026

Tasted blind. Very deep crimson. Quite sweet, rich and charred. Rather glorious, luxurious fruit in beautiful harmony. Ch Cheval Blanc? Super-appetising even if not big. Dry finish. Subtle. (JR)Jancis Robinson31st May 2022
