Chateau Figeac - First growth of Saint-Emilion. "I want to give you my impressions, frankly express the pleasure that give me the wines of Chateau Figeac tasted on the spot, vintage after vintage. They share a characteristic elegance, fruit of the particular terroir, the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon''very''and choice of men who together have been or are the Figeac. But they also play on a rich palette and each year he creates a unique combination. Many wine storage is still a feature of Figeac, but also pleasant to drink young wines with tannins well blended. The vintages of Chateau Figeac latest show more power, roundness and fruity. And regularly, Figeac gives us great feelings ". Count Eric d'Aramon, CEO of Chateau Figeac.

Many notes. Initially opaque, dumb and concentrated. Later, richly perfumed Cabernet Sauvignon and new oak, pleasing texture noted. More recently, now medium deep but impressive; fruit and charm; sweet, distinctive, a very 'amenable' 88.
