Chateau La Rose Figeac Pomerol 2019 ØKO

Chateau La Rose Figeac Pomerol 2019 ØKO is an elegant, organically certified red from one of Pomerol’s most enviable addresses, surrounded by icons like Cheval Blanc and Château Figeac. Crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this cuvée captures the finesse and supple power that make Right Bank Bordeaux so sought after. With its certified organic and biodynamic farming, it offers a pure, terroir-driven expression of Pomerol in a refined, contemporary style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2019 La Rose Figeac shows a deep, vibrant ruby-purple hue, hinting at both concentration and freshness. The nose is inviting and layered, with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and wild raspberry wrapped in notes of violet, graphite, cedar and a subtle touch of cocoa and baking spice. On the palate, this Pomerol is medium to full-bodied with a polished, velvety texture. Juicy dark fruit is framed by fine-grained tannins and lifted by a lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh rather than heavy. Flavours of black cherry, blackberry and redcurrant mingle with hints of forest floor, tobacco leaf and a delicate mineral edge on the long, graceful finish. The 2019 has excellent structure and balance, making it enjoyable now with a short decant, but it also has the backbone to age beautifully for 10–15 years under proper cellar conditions.

Production
The vineyards of Chateau La Rose Figeac cover a modest 4 hectares in Pomerol, planted primarily to Merlot with a smaller proportion of Cabernet Franc, on classic gravelly and sandy-clay soils that encourage both ripeness and finesse. The estate has been organically certified since 2006 and biodynamic since 2009, with careful attention to biodiversity, soil health and manual work in the vines. Harvest is carried out by hand, parcel by parcel, to ensure optimal ripeness and meticulous selection of the bunches. In the cellar, fermentation typically takes place in temperature-controlled vats, allowing gentle extraction of colour, aroma and tannin, followed by maturation in French oak barrels to bring additional complexity and subtle spice while preserving the purity of the fruit and the character of the vintage.

Food & Serving
This Pomerol is an excellent partner for refined dishes such as roast lamb with herbs, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or veal with truffle-infused sauces. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom dishes, game birds, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to show its full aromatic range. For current drinking, decanting for 45–60 minutes helps the wine open up and soften the tannins; older bottles will require a gentler, shorter decant mainly to remove sediment.

Producer
Chateau La Rose Figeac is owned by the Despagne family, a lineage rooted in Saint-Émilion for 11 generations. The family inherited the estate in 1972, and in recent years, Nathalie Despagne has taken the helm, guiding this small Pomerol property with a clear focus on quality and sustainability. Surrounded by some of the most prestigious names in Bordeaux, La Rose Figeac has carved out its own identity through early and committed adoption of organic (2006) and biodynamic (2009) viticulture. Today, the estate is recognised as a thoughtful, progressive producer in Pomerol, crafting wines that combine the appellation’s classic plush texture with precision, freshness and a strong sense of place.
