Château Figeac is one of the most prestigious and historic vineyards in the Saint-Émilion appellation, in the Bordeaux region. Known for being one of the largest estates in the area, Château Figeac stands out for its unique terroir and the unusual composition of its vineyard, which dedicates ample space not only to Merlot, typical of Saint-Émilion, but also to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in almost equal proportions. This particularity gives the wines of Château Figeac a distinctive style, which beautifully balances the richness and softness of the Merlot with the structure and complexity of the Cabernets.

The history of Château Figeac dates back to the 2nd century AD, with its roots deeply anchored in the winemaking history of Bordeaux. The vineyard extends over an exceptional gravel terroir, a characteristic it shares with some of the most famous Médoc estates and which contributes to the finesse and elegance of its wines. This particular composition of the soil, together with the exposure and favorable microclimate, allows for optimal ripening of the grapes, guaranteeing wines of extraordinary quality.

The production philosophy at Château Figeac aims for excellence, with meticulous attention paid to every phase of the winemaking process, from the care of the vineyards to the harvest, which is carried out manually, and winemaking. The aging of the wine takes place in new French oak barriques for a variable percentage, depending on the vintage, helping to develop further levels of complexity, elegance and aging capacity of the wine.

When tasted, Château Figeac presents itself with a rich and complex aromatic profile, characterized by notes of red and black fruits, flowers, spices and a delicate mineral hint. In the mouth, the wine is powerful but balanced, with fine tannins and a lively acidity that underlines its elegance and length. The contribution of Cabernets is manifested through a refined tannic structure and subtle vegetal notes, which blend harmoniously with the softness and fruit richness of Merlot.

Château Figeac is renowned for its remarkable aging potential, developing over time even greater complexity and aromatic nuances that vary from ripe fruit to tertiary notes of tobacco, leather and undergrowth. It is a wine that pairs beautifully with rich and tasty dishes, such as red meats, game and mature cheeses.

In summary, Château Figeac represents an icon of Saint-Émilion, offering a tasting experience that reflects the richness and diversity of its historic terroir, as well as the craftsmanship and passion that characterize its production. It is a shining example of Bordeaux winemaking excellence, celebrated and appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.
