About this product
Limited availabilityBordeaux, FranceChâteau Figeac is a 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 2009 Figeac, like other 2009 Saint-Émilions, is one of the greatest in living memory. With the warmer conditions, the Cabernet Sauvignon component is softened out wonderfully to provide an ethereal Bordeaux experience.

Very dark crimson. Real energy and richness and tension. Lovely polish and lots of Cabernet influence. Great. Really lively finish. Not at all too rich. Tannins only on the end! Tension trumps vintage. You could enjoy this now with food!

A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Château Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits, delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage.
