Description
For the teams at Château-Figeac, it required unrelenting attention and quick thinking. The three different grape varieties and the varied contours of the Figeac plots helped to spread the weather risk. Highly precise work in the vineyard kept it free of disease and encouraged even and full ripening by harvest-time.Serving recommendation
Serve at 16-18 °C with meat dishes such as stewed poultry.Rating
About producer
Château Figeac is a highly rated and well regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, on the so-called right bank of the Dordogne river in the northeast of the region. Figeac's eponymous flagship wine (or "grand vin" as is often called) is known for its rich nose, silky texture and elegance, and for its aging potential in better vintages. Figeac was rated as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in the 1955 Saint-Émilion Classification – a status it retained through every subsequent iteration of the classification until 2022, when it was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé (A). The wine is widely considered to have markedly improved since World War II under the ownership of Thierry Manoncourt, becoming one of the most sought-after Right Bank Bordeaux reds.All products by this producer
