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)」。
Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Figeac put in a marvelous showing under strict blind conditions and it has clearly blossomed in bottle. It has an immediately engaging bouquet with vivid blackberry and raspberry fruit, wonderful mineralité and fine delineation. This is very composed, with a touch of graphite that almost takes you towards Pauillac rather than Saint Emilion. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, harmonious and lively with commendable precision towards the finish. This is a sophisticated and well-crafted Figeac that appears to be on an upward trajectory.
