Château Figeac的獨特之處在於它的土壤是類似左岸的礫石土,賦予它很好的條件去種植Cabernet Sauvignon和Cabernet Franc,因此本莊的葡萄園裡的種植比例居然是35% Cabernet Sauvignon、35% Cabernet Franc、30% Merlot!它的酒也以Saint-Émilion產區裡具左岸Medoc風格著稱。其獨特風格和優異表現讓它從1954年以來一直被評選為「一等頂級酒莊1er Grand Cru Classé (B)」。
The 2014 Figeac builds on its promise from barrel and delivers a very fulfilling bouquet with red plum, crushed strawberry, cedar and light graphite aromas that I suspect will close down for a period after bottling. (The bottle tasted at the château displayed a subtle incense aroma.) The palate is very well defined with a crisp line of acidity, sorbet fresh in the mouth and fanning out towards its structured, tensile finish. It is a great Figeac, a superb forerunner to the brilliant 2015 and it should not be underestimated. Chapeau winemaker Frédéric Faye and his team. Tasted twice (both in London and at the property) with consistent notes.
