Figeac 2004

Figeac

Case Format: 1x150cl

Max score: 94.0

Château Figeac is a 40-hectare estate located in the west of the Saint-Émilion appellation. Its identity is defined by the vines used to produce the first wine, where counter to other Saint-Émilion producers, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc make up a majority of the blend (c.70%), with Merlot comprising the rest. Its singular gravel terroir is the only one of its kind in the appellation, allowing for the production of a refined, bold and distinctive wine. With touches of graphite and notes of spicey cedarwood, Château Figeac is a wine infused with biting energy and finesse, with a growing elegance that continues to develop with age. In 2022 Figeac was promoted to the level of Premier Grand Cru Classé “A”, which is only awarded to the most premium wines in Saint-Émilion.

Served in magnum, this represents a classic Bordeaux vintage that saw average temperatures and rainfall. You had to be patient before the 2004 Figeac came around. This wine had touches of band aid on the nose at first, but that cleared to reveal clove and black pepper spice, undergrowth and black truffle, as well as cedar and sweet fruits. There is still structure and freshness here. Its a classic cool climate, old school Bordeaux with real charm. Made with 100% new oak.

Dark ruby. Quite intense, focused, precise nose. Easy and already mature. Fresh and very Figeac. If you wanted to use claret as a mouthwash this would do very nicely indeed! Quite marked acidity. And only medium bodied but very nicely balanced. Good for current drinking. Impressive, neat persistence.
