Château Figeac sits on gravel soil, different from Saint-Émilion`s usual limestone and clay, so it usually blends roughly equal amounts of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot rather than Merlot-led wines typical of the appellation. In the widely praised 2015 vintage Figeac`s Cabernet-Sauvignon was outstanding, so significantly more (43%) was included in the blend. Expect ripe black fruit and graphite aromas, a structured, elegant palate with firm but polished tannins, and real ageing potential to 2040 and beyond. Best decanted and paired with roast duck or lamb.

An Elegant Right Bank Estate
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.
