Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, Château Figeac has no equal in terroir or style. The grandeur of the noble Cabernets shines in this cru like no other, earning it 4 stars from the RVF Guide, their highest accolade.

Situated on the gravelly plateau bordering Pomerol, Figeac is a connoisseur's wine that reveals its character with time. It is often said to be the most Médoc-like of the Saint-Émilions.
