About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Cabernet Franc MerlotBordeaux, FranceA beautiful, fine old property that was once apart of the famed Cheval Blanc estate and just like Cheval, the vineyard soils are two-thirds gravel and the remaining third on sandy soil. Unlike Cheval Blanc though, Château Figeac is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Cabernet Franc. The 2008 is a Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend that shows more opulent fruit than the recent 2007, but still with a pure and clean palate.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
