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.

Deliciously rich and full-bodied, but rather one-dimensional. Has earth, berry and truffle aromas, ripe fruit flavors, firm tannins and a velvety, round mouthfeel.
Very forthcoming, attractive, fully developped. Extraordinary flavour.
One of the top successes of the vintage, the 1976 Figeac was consistently impressive in tastings. A big, deep, cedary, ripe fruity bouquet shows good complexity. On the palate, this lush, rich, full-bodied wine avoids the soupy softness and diluted character of many wines produced in 1976. Round, concentrated, generous, and fully mature, this was a lovely wine from the 1976 vintage.
