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)」。
One of the highlights of the vintage on the Right Bank, the 2021 Figeac is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc and 29% Merlot, and the fruit of a harvest that lasted a full month, from September 21 to October 19, with each parcel picked at optimal maturity. Offering up aromas of blackberries, cassis, rose petals, violets, cigar wrapper and sweet soil tones, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a deep, layered core of beautifully vibrant fruit, concluding with a long, saline finish. The first vintage vinified in Figeac's new winery, it's a resounding success for administrator Frédéric Faye and his team.
