Château Figeac - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is defined by a highly distinctive blend for Bordeaux’s Right Bank, as it combines significant proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with Merlot, which adds roundness, softness, and additional fruit depth. The grapes come from three Günz-era gravel mounds that provide excellent drainage and pronounced minerality.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, blueberry, and plum, while Merlot contributes notes of ripe red fruit and a subtle sweetness. On the palate, the wine is firm, precise, and structured, with vibrant acidity and fine tannins that shape a long, elegant finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon brings depth and longevity, Cabernet Franc adds aromatic freshness and herbal nuances, and Merlot softens the mid-palate and enhances balance. As the wine ages, it develops layers of cedar, leather, dark chocolate, and dried earth, emphasizing its complexity and refinement.
Vinification includes hand harvesting, rigorous grape selection, and aging in new French oak, all contributing to harmony and purity of expression. Thanks to its combination of power, freshness, and elegance, Château Figeac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru stands as one of the most authentic and long-lived expressions of the appellation.
