The nose is layered and expressive, offering blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle floral and spice notes.\n\nOn the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with impressive structure and poise, balancing ripe dark fruit with mineral drive, fine tannins, and a long, nuanced finish. The 2009 vintage has the concentration and harmony to age beautifully, and this wine should continue to develop complexity for many years, gaining more secondary notes of leather, truffle, and cigar box with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Figeac is located on the western edge of Saint-Émilion, where its gravelly soils are unusually influenced by the same type of terroir found in the Médoc.
