Wine:

The 2019 Red Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Petit-Figeac is a perfect representation of the style of the vintage, albeit in a more immediate and less austere version. Resulting from a specific blend of grape varieties, it comes from the same selection as the grapes of the estate’s first wine. Lighter and less deep, it offers a very fine texture and a seductive finish. A perfect introduction to the estate’s style and spirit!

Vinification:

Manual harvesting. Vinification in wooden and stainless steel vats. Aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels of which 30% are new.

Color:

Purple of beautiful intensity and brightness.

Nose:

Aromas of black fruits mixed with floral scents and spicy accents.

Palate:

Light and of great finesse on a blossoming fruit. This cuvée with melted tannins seduces us by its fresh, immediate, pleasant and refined profile.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Large pieces of beef or lamb, shoulder of lamb confit with wild thyme, hare à la royale, duck in blood, refined farmhouse St Nectaire.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2032

The 1er Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion (Saint Emilion First Growth), Château Figeac represents the quintessence of the elegance and refinement of the wines of the western plateau that Saint-Emilion shares with Pomerol. 

Unique in terroir and in style, Figeac is an estate like no other, propelled by an atypical grape variety, with a parity between Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, that creates wine of exceptional balance that only become more intense with some years of aging.
