Chateau Figeac Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 2021

Château Figeac Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé 2021 is one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive and sought-after right-bank wines, renowned for its unusually high proportion of Cabernet in a region often dominated by Merlot. This classic yet characterful cuvée reflects the estate’s long history and singular identity, offering elegance, freshness, and remarkable precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with bright, youthful intensity. The nose is refined and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, violets, graphite, and subtle spice, all framed by a fresh, mineral lift. On the palate, the wine is structured and harmonious, combining the finesse of Cabernet Franc with the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon and the softness of Merlot. Expect finely woven tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish marked by dark fruit, herbs, tobacco, and a hint of earth. While already impressive in youth, this is a wine built for aging and should evolve beautifully over many years, gaining complexity and nuance.

Production
Château Figeac is located on the cooler, gravel-rich plateau on the western edge of Saint-Émilion, where well-drained soils and a favorable microclimate help Cabernet varieties achieve full ripeness and aromatic clarity. Grapes are typically harvested by hand and vinified with great care to preserve freshness, purity, and precision, with élevage carried out in oak to refine the tannins and add complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and dishes featuring wild mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
