Château Figeac 2004

Tasting notes

"(...) has a very dark color for the vintage (so much so, if blind I might not guess it as a Bordeaux!). The nose is tightly wound with dense black fruit. It conveys the feeling of being a little "pushed," trying to transcend the limitations of the vintage and forsaking elegance and finesse. It feels a little monochromatic. The palate is better: quite weighty in the mouth with blackberry, raspberry coulis and a splash of soy, segueing into more tobacco-like notes towards the finish that offers plenty of freshness. This is a stout and sturdy Figeac, quite complex with an almost English ale-like sweetness noted on the finish.(...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Château Figeac – Saint-Émilion
A Premier Grand Cru Classé A with a unique identity, balancing structure and elegance.

One of the most iconic estates on Bordeaux’s Right Bank
Located on the western edge of Saint-Émilion, Château Figeac boasts ancient roots dating back to Roman times. In the hands of the Manoncourt family since 1892, the estate has steadily earned its reputation for excellence.

In 2022, it was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé A, joining the elite ranks of Bordeaux’s finest châteaux.

A rare gravel terroir in Saint-Émilion
Unlike most of its neighbors, Figeac’s 54 hectares lie on deep gravel soils, more typical of the Médoc. This exceptional terroir allows for an unusual Right Bank blend:

35% Cabernet Sauvignon
35% Cabernet Franc
30% Merlot

The result is a wine with precision, energy, and remarkable aging potential.

Style of the wine
Elegant, structured, and complex. Figeac offers aromas of black fruit, violet, graphite, and cedar, with a silky texture and long, mineral finish.

It’s a wine for collectors and connoisseurs seeking refined, intellectual Bordeaux with a soul.
