First Grand Cru Classé, Château-Figeac embodies the excellence of the great wines of Saint-Émilion in the world. Château-Figeac has been owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892. Château-Figeac benefits from an exceptional location, to the west of the Saint-Émilion appellation, on the edge of the Pomerol appellation. The vineyard of the property covers 40 hectares of vines planted on 3 different gravel hilltops. Respect for biodiversity, flora and fauna are at the heart of the property's concerns.


Tasting Notes :
Deep purple-black in color, it charges out of the gate with vivacious black and red cherries, cassis, warm plums and wild blueberries scents plus fragrant hints of violets, star anise, tilled soil and forest floor with wafts of Ceylon tea and chocolate box.
Full-bodied and jam-packed with energetic, crunchy black and blue fruits, it has a rock-solid, firm, grainy frame and loads of bright, refreshing sparks lifting the dense layers on the very long, savory finish. Wow--the Cabernet really makes itself known this vintage, and it is good. The signature of this wine is so clear, so defined, that this is a Bordeaux wine without peers.
