Chateau Figeac Premier Grand Cru Classe B

Figeac 2009

Figeac

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

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.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2009 Figeac is a blend of 35% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Merlot. Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it sings of dried cherries, mulberries, and raspberry coulis with hints of dusty soil, black tea, rose oil, and sandalwood. Medium-bodied, it is elegant and lively in the mouth with maturing dried berry and exotic spices flavors and a powdery texture, finishing long and minerally.

James Suckling

Even in this super-ripe vintage Figeac retains its usual red bell pepper aroma (from the cabernet sauvignon grape) and that adds a light touch to the opulent fruit cake and spice character. The full fine tannins beautifully support the rich palate and make the finish very long and plush. A great 2009! Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)
