Château Figeac is one of the most distinctive estates in Saint-Émilion, known for its unusually high proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which give the wines structure, freshness, and longevity. The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as one of the strongest of the decade, and Figeac produced a wine that perfectly captures the depth and poise of the year.
The aromatics are layered and expressive with blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry alongside cedar, graphite, and a touch of dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is firm yet composed, showing ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long finish shaped by mineral and savory notes. After nearly two decades in bottle, it has entered a beautiful stage that offers maturity and plenty of life ahead.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, Bordeaux, France
Farming: Sustainable
Style: Red. Structured, complex, and long-lived
