Château Figeac stands as a beacon of excellence in the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, revered for its rich history and commitment to producing exceptional wines. With roots dating back to the 2nd century AD, this historic estate has earned global acclaim for its unwavering dedication to quality and innovation. Situated on gravelly and sandy soils, Figeac's vineyards yield grapes that reflect the unique terroir of Saint-Émilion, resulting in wines known for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness. Renowned for its meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques, Château Figeac continues to captivate wine enthusiasts with its exceptional wines, each bottle a testament to the estate's enduring legacy and the timeless allure of Bordeaux's finest craftsmanship.

The 2016 Figeac, crafteed with 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, was bottled at the end of July 2018, since Frederic Faye wanted to give the wine more time in barrel to develop more harmony. The stunning 24-carat bouquet rivets you to the spot with brilliant delineation and mineral-rich red fruit that articulates its terroir as well as any Right Bank you will find. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, perfect acidity, wonderfully integrated new oak and enormous depth toward the fresh, pencil-box- and cedar-infused finish. This is a classic Figeac, up there with the 1947 and 1949, both recently re-tasted and testifying to a wine that genuinely belongs among the elite Saint-Emilions. Faye believes it is the best Figeac he has ever made.
