Figeac 2022 (750ML)

Original price was: €379.99.Current price is: €359.99.

The first vintage as 1er Grand Cru Classé “A” was climatically unprecedented, due to the early and long-lasting heat and drought throughout the region. In order to overcome the challenges posed by nature, both the vines and our team had to adapt, drawing deeply on their resources and experience. The result is a vibrant and distinctive wine that will be remembered for its quality and complexity. The nose is complex, intense, and deep, expressing floral fragrances mingled with subtle spicy notes. The bouquet reveals through aeration notes of red fruit and peppermint along with a beautiful minerality. Expressive and balanced, the palate delights with its fine tannins and its lovely freshness drawing out to a delicately spicy finish. 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc & 31% Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

James Suckling

99 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: “Deep nose with graphite, gravel, dark hazelnut chocolate, blackberries, blueberries and truffles. Really taut and tense on the palate with fresh, vibrating tannins and a very long, chalky finish. Compact. 35% merlot, 34% cabernet franc and 31% cabernet sauvignon. Lots of vibrancy and muscled tension here from an extremely hot and dry year. Drink from 2029 when the wood spices get more integrated.” 01/25

Antonio Galloni

98+ Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “A towering, statuesque Saint-Émilion, the 2022 Figeac is positively stellar. What a wine. The 2022 was bottled at the end of July 2024, a bit late by current standards, so it is a bit reticent. What impresses most is the wine’s total integration and balance. All the elements are in the right places. Time in the glass brings out some of the floral qualities of the Cabernets, but this is a wine readers should not be thinking of opening anytime soon. Power and finesse—it’s all there.” 01/25

Neal Martin

98 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: “The 2022 Figeac, bottled on July 20th, has an intense nose that, as I observed out of barrel, leans more toward the Left than Right Bank, despite a slightly lower percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has wonderful delineation with black fruit, pine and a light graphite note that runs through from start to finish. A touch of incense emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is still firmly on the Left Bank stylistically, with gentle grip and a stony aftertaste. The fruit will come back with bottle age, which you can see by comparing tastings in late November 2024 and then at the end of January 2025.” 01/25
