Château Figeac
About Château Figeac
Château Figeac dates back to second-century Gallo-Roman origins; Undoubtedly one of the greatest producers and terroirs of the Saint-Émilion appellation, if not the whole of Bordeaux. Mentioned by experts in the same breath as Pavie, Ausone and Cheval Blanc. In 2022, the estate was promoted and awarded a Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status by the Wine Council of St-Émilion.
Viniculture
Once the largest property in the appellation, many plots were sold over the years to create and enlarge properties like neighbouring Château Cheval Blanc and even Pomerol’s La Conseillante. Figeac has excellent terroir, and after the estate was not awarded Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status in 2012, there was renewed determination to put the property back to its rightful place at the top of Saint-émilion. Michel Rolland was hired to consult, and Frederic Faye was appointed to oversee wine-making. The result has been a dramatic upturn in quality and critical acclaim.
Figeac is unusual in Saint-Émilion is situated on gravelly soils. This means a much higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes here. The wine is particularly unique, and buyers may come across a number of allusions to this - "lively and very "Figeac". A higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, as opposed to the Merlot dominant Ausone and Cheval Blanc, Figeac, is a cerebral balance of Left-Bank perfumed mint, cedar and cassis, with the wonderfully lush cashmere texture and fruit of Merlot.

Wine Advocate (95)Tasted at the Château Figeac vertical at the property. I have tasted the 1961 Château Figeac just once before, when it only intimated a great wine. This bottle proves it. Clear and deep in color, it has a heavenly bouquet that is not dissimilar to the 1964: very concentrated with mulberry, dried honey, molasses and stewed apricots. Magnifique! The palate is medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, perhaps less rounded than the 1964, but driven along by perfectly judged acidity with black truffle and salted licorice surfacing towards the structured and sustained finish. I suspect that there is some variability between bottles, judging by others' comments, but clearly if it is your lucky day, you are in for a treat. Tasted June 2015. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Thierry Manoncourt era – he greeted Nutter personally in a three-piece suit. Introduced the host of this tasting Graham Nutter to the life of a vigneron. Dark rust colour. Pale rim. Sweet and rather winningly balanced. Light digestive-biscuit flavour! Transparent. Fresh and clean and very 21st century. Lively and utterly winning. Though it’s far from concentrated and is very defiantly unusual. Long-lived. Healthy and fresh. |

James Suckling (94)This is amazing for the vintage. Full and silky, with velvety tannins. Long and rich, with a bright fruit character -- think black figs. The Cabernet Sauvignon gets to 35% of the blend in this vintage. This is delicious now, but it will be much better in five years. Pull the cork in 2015. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)Although it was my favorite decade for this Saint-Émilion, the 2004 Figeac has always quietly impressed with its quality. This ex-château bottle, opened for my wedding anniversary, shows beautifully at 15 years old. Still deep in color with modest bricking on the rim, it has a seductive bouquet of black fruit, mulberry, graphite and fireside hearth. Decanting for three hours clearly benefits the aromatics, which leap in intensity with aeration. The palate is classic Figeac, equidistant between Left and Right Bank in style, touches of dark chocolate and clove infusing the dark berry fruit. The tannins have softened since I last tasted this wine, rendering it perfectly drinkable now, although it will easily give another 15 years of pleasure. Tasted at home. |

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (98)Right up there with the best of the Right Bank, this opens with a punnet of blackberry and creamy damson fruits, all in balance, finessed but confident and juicy, cocoa bean, espresso, cumin and black pepper spice, hard to fault and extremely easy to recommend. Harvest September 22 to October 19, 40hl/h yield, 100% new oak. As an aside, this was leading up to the 2012 classification, and wines like this explain why they were so confident that they were going to get the nod to Premier Grand Cru Classé A (in the end they had to wait 10 more years). |

Jeb Dunnuck (98+)Another brilliant wine from the genius of Frédéric Faye, the 2016 Château Figeac checks in as 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in new French oak. Roughly 75% of the production made it into the grand vin. This deeply colored beauty is a legendary wine in the making and offers ultra-pure aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, smoke tobacco, dried herbs, chocolate, truffle, and graphite. Showing more violets notes with time in the glass, it builds incrementally on the palate, with flawless balance as well as incredible elegance, no hard edges, and a finish that won't quit. Readers will have a blast comparing the 2016 and 2015 vintages over the coming 3-4 decades and this estate is firing on all cylinders. This will most likely merit a triple-digit rating in 7-8 years and keep for 4 decades or more. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)The 2014 Figeac is shaping up to be a real jewel of a wine. Powerful and structured, with plenty of tannic spine, the 2014 won't start hitting its stride for at least a few years. Even today, though, it is impressive for its energy and overall intensity. Plum, smoke, spice, graphite and leather build into the huge, expressive finish. Figeac is one of the stars of the vintage. There is real density and gravitas here, not to mention considerable personality. |

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (100)Love this vintage of Figeac, and it is fully delivering at the ten year point, still teetering on the edge of its mature drinking window. Brambled fleshy black fruits, firm tannins, edge of cocoa, incense, steel and mandarin peel, grip and length. Great quality. Harvest September 21 to October 15, 100% new oak for ageing.

Jeb Dunnuck (98+)Another brilliant wine from the genius of Frédéric Faye, the 2016 Château Figeac checks in as 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in new French oak. Roughly 75% of the production made it into the grand vin. This deeply colored beauty is a legendary wine in the making and offers ultra-pure aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, smoke tobacco, dried herbs, chocolate, truffle, and graphite. Showing more violets notes with time in the glass, it builds incrementally on the palate, with flawless balance as well as incredible elegance, no hard edges, and a finish that won't quit. Readers will have a blast comparing the 2016 and 2015 vintages over the coming 3-4 decades and this estate is firing on all cylinders. This will most likely merit a triple-digit rating in 7-8 years and keep for 4 decades or more. |
