Chateau La Rose Figeac Pomerol 2021 ØKO

Chateau La Rose Figeac Pomerol 2021 ØKO is a refined, organically certified Right Bank Bordeaux that showcases the elegance and purity of Pomerol terroir. Crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this small-production cuvée balances classic structure with vibrant, modern drinkability. Owned by the Despagne family—residents of Saint-Émilion for 11 generations—this estate brings deep local heritage and meticulous, hands-on winemaking to every bottle.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 La Rose Figeac presents a deep ruby core with bright crimson reflections, hinting at both concentration and freshness. The nose opens with aromas of ripe red and black cherries, plum and wild raspberry, layered with notes of violet, graphite, cedar shavings and a subtle touch of cocoa and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a refined, silky texture—Merlot providing plush fruit while Cabernet Franc contributes lift and aromatic complexity. Expect flavors of black cherry, mulberry and redcurrant, supported by fine-grained tannins and a fresh, well-defined acidity that keeps the wine poised rather than heavy. Hints of tobacco leaf, pencil lead and spice emerge on the long, elegant finish. The 2021 vintage is approachable in its youth, yet has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years, gaining additional aromatic complexity and softness with cellaring.

Production
Chateau La Rose Figeac’s 4 hectares of vineyards lie in the heart of Pomerol, surrounded by renowned neighbors such as Cheval Blanc, Château Figeac, Château Beauregard and Château Tour du Pin. The soils are typical of this prized plateau and its fringes, with a mix of gravel, sand and clay that allows Merlot to achieve both richness and finesse, and Cabernet Franc to express its floral, spicy character. The vines, with an average age of around 25 years, are farmed organically (certified since 2006) and biodynamically (since 2009), with careful attention to soil health, biodiversity and manual work in the vineyard. Harvesting is done by hand, parcel by parcel, to ensure optimal ripeness and selection of the healthiest berries. In the cellar, the fruit is gently sorted and vinified in a way that respects the character of each plot, typically using temperature-controlled fermentation and measured extraction to preserve elegance. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, with a judicious proportion of new oak, to add texture and complexity without overwhelming the purity of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Pomerol is a versatile partner for refined, flavor-driven dishes. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, veal chops, beef tenderloin or slow-braised short ribs, as well as earthy dishes such as mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, lentil ragouts and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its aromatic nuance and textural finesse. For younger bottles, decanting for 45–60 minutes is recommended to help the wine open up and fully reveal its layered bouquet; older bottles will benefit from a gentler, shorter decant to separate any sediment while preserving delicate aromas.

Producer
Chateau La Rose Figeac is owned by the Despagne family, a historic name in Bordeaux with roots in Saint-Émilion stretching back 11 generations. The family inherited this small Pomerol estate in 1972, and in recent years Nathalie Despagne has taken the lead in shaping its contemporary identity, bringing a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Situated among some of the most prestigious addresses on the Right Bank, La Rose Figeac has carved out a reputation for producing wines that emphasize finesse, terroir expression and environmental responsibility over sheer power. Its early adoption of organic certification in 2006 and biodynamic practices in 2009 marks it as one of the more progressive, quality-focused properties in the appellation, contributing to the growing recognition of sustainably crafted, artisanal Pomerol.
