Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2020

Château Figeac 2020 is a standout Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that showcases the estate’s signature Cabernet-driven style with rare elegance and precision. Blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, it offers remarkable freshness, structure, and aromatic depth, making it one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive and sought-after wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby hue with youthful intensity. The nose is layered and refined, unfolding with notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is poised and finely textured, combining ripe dark fruit with fresh acidity, polished tannins, and a long mineral finish. The 2020 vintage has the balance and concentration to age gracefully for decades, gradually gaining complexity and tertiary nuance with time. Its Cabernet dominance gives the wine a cooler, more linear profile than many of its Right Bank peers, with impressive lift and definition. Expect a wine that is both powerful and graceful, with the kind of structure that rewards cellaring.

Production
Château Figeac is located on Saint-Émilion’s prized gravel soils, a terroir that strongly favors Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, giving the wine its unmistakable identity. The grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with careful selection to preserve purity and precision. Vinification is carried out with an emphasis on gentle extraction and careful aging in oak barrels to enhance complexity without masking the vineyard’s character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, and rich mushroom-based preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for one to two hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and texture to open up.
