Winemaker and Vineyard: Château-Figeac owes its unique character to the combination of three mounds of günzian gravels with clayey subsoils, several microclimates, and a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and merlot. This original blend, dominated by 2/3 of cabernets, gives the wine both structure, finesse, freshness, and suavity. Since the beginning of this century, Château-Figeac wine has become available in its early years with a more caressing touch of the mouth without losing its incomparable verticality over the years. Its longevity over several decades is exceptional, with an inimitable and complex bouquet that unfolds over time.

Tasting: The 2020 Figeac is the finest wine that has been bottled to date at this estate since its renaissance began a decade ago. Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries and raspberries mingled with cigar wrapper, pencil shavings, licorice and black truffles, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a suave, harmonious profile, vibrant acids, and beautifully refined structuring tannins. This sapid, complex wine represents the essence of this great terroir. Two years after extensive soil studies of the estate were carried out, and the first growing season to see cover crops used in the vineyards year-round, the 2020 benefited from more coherently demarcated parcels and more precise élevage, which taken together help to account for its edge over the excellent 2019. robertparker.com (06.04.2023)
