Winemaker and Vineyard: Château Figeac is distinguished by the unique combination of three mounds of Günzian gravels with clayey subsoils, several microclimates, and a grape variety made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. This original blend, dominated by 2/3 Cabernets, gives the wine both structure, finesse, freshness, and suavity. Its longevity over several decades is exceptional, with an inimitable and complex bouquet that unfolds over time.

Tasting: The 2016 Figeac is comprised of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 26% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is a little broody and reticent at this very youthful stage, slowly unfolding to reveal profound plum preserves, crème de cassis, black raspberries, and star anise with hints of moss-covered bark, truffles, and tilled loam, plus a waft of red currants and raspberry leaves sparks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is practically quivering with energy, offering glimpses at tightly wound black fruit and mineral/ferrous layers, framed by very firm, ripe tannins and wonderful tension, finishing long with the spices coming through. This will need a good 7-8 years to come round and then should cellar for 40+ years.

Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a spit-roasted capon.
