Château Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion 2021

Château Figeac, 1er Grand Cru Classé is a small masterpiece from Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux. This exceptional wine comes from a unique terroir, characterised by a mineral-rich gravelly soil and a temperate climate influenced by the ocean. The skilfully cultivated and carefully selected Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grape varieties give the finished wine a complex and elegant character. Vinification is parcel-based, without the use of sulphites. In the cellar, a rigorous approach that respects the terroir is applied. The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripeness and are vinified separately. After processing, the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for no less than 18 months, developing complexity and harmony. In the Château Figeac glass, it has a beautiful deep ruby red colour. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet reminiscent of flowers, such as violets and red roses. Then forest fruits, such as cherries and blackcurrants, mineral notes and hints of black truffle. In the mouth it is full-bodied yet refined and balanced, with fine tannins that lend persistence. Ripe fruit flavours intertwine with elegant hazelnut notes, creating a complex and memorable taste experience. To be paired with important and tasty dishes. Excellent with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
