Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2019

Figeac 2019 is one of Saint-Émilion’s most compelling Premier Grand Cru Classé wines, prized for its elegant structure, aromatic lift, and Cabernet-driven character. Combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot from one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive estates, it offers a refined expression that balances power with freshness.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Figeac 2019 is deep ruby in colour, with a vivid edge that hints at its energy and precision. The nose is especially expressive, opening with blackcurrant, ripe cherry, violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice, all carried by the lifted floral and mineral signature that makes Figeac so recognisable. On the palate, the wine is polished and layered, with firm but silky tannins, bright acidity, and a core of dark berry fruit, plum, tobacco, and crushed stone. The Cabernet influence gives definition and length, while Merlot adds mid-palate richness and Cabernet Franc brings aromatic complexity. This is a wine with excellent ageing potential and should continue to develop beautifully for many years.

Production
Figeac comes from a historic estate on the western edge of Saint-Émilion, where a gravel-rich terroir is unusually well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, alongside Merlot. The vineyard is harvested by hand, with careful parcel selection to preserve the character of each plot, and vinification is typically carried out with a focus on gentle extraction and precision to highlight freshness, purity, and structure.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes. It also works well with hard cheeses like aged Comté or mature cheddar. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if enjoying it young to allow the wine to open fully.

Producer
Château Figeac is one of the great historic names of Saint-Émilion, with roots stretching back centuries and a long-standing reputation for elegance and individuality. The estate is widely respected for its unique Cabernet-focused identity in a region dominated by Merlot, and it has earned a place among Bordeaux’s most admired producers through consistency, pedigree, and distinctive style.
