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 recent leaps and bounds in improvements that have occurred at this great estate, equating to a dramatic increase in intensity and complexity—without compromising the husky, soft-spoken, sultry voice that is Figeac—is a monumental achievement. Kudos to Frederic Faye and his team for so beautifully expressing what was clearly an extraordinary vintage at Chateau Figeac! Blended of 29% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Figeac reveals vibrant black cherries, cassis, red currants, black plums and licorice notes with touches of cigar boxes, bouquet garni, potpourri, damp soil and black pepper. Medium-bodied, delicately crafted and with nuanced, quietly intense layers of vivacious red and black fruits, the palate features a solid frame of polished, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and minerally.
