Product Description
The 2021 Château Figeac is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc, and 29% Merlot. 180,000 bottles were created and the wine was aged in new oak barrels. It is the first vintage to be vinified in the property’s new winery and is regarded as one of the finest Right Bank wines in 2021.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
The 2021 Figeac is a classy, supremely polished Saint-Emilion. Floral and savory notes meld into a core of dark cherry, leather, tobacco, spice, mocha and lavender. I imagine the 2021 will drink well with minimal cellaring. It’s an undeniably attractive wine with no hard edges, but also less textural depth than the best years. Managing Director Frederic Faye and his team reduced elevage by two months because of the lighter structure of the wine, a decision that paid off nicely.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2051
Robert Parker 94-97
One of the highlights of the vintage on the Right Bank, the 2021 Figeac is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc and 29% Merlot, and the fruit of a harvest that lasted a full month, from September 21 to October 19, with each parcel picked at optimal maturity. Offering up aromas of blackberries, cassis, rose petals, violets, cigar wrapper and sweet soil tones, it’s medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a deep, layered core of beautifully vibrant fruit, concluding with a long, saline finish. The first vintage vinified in Figeac’s new winery, it’s a resounding success for administrator Frederic Faye and his team.
