Château Figeac 2020 — one of Saint-Émilion’s greatest estates, in a half bottle: raspberry, cedar, graphite and dark chocolate.
Château Figeac’s history reaches back to Roman times, and it stands today among the very top rank of Saint-Émilion as a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate. Unusually for the Right Bank, its gravel soils carry a large share of Cabernet: the wine blends Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in oak barrels.
That Cabernet backbone is what makes Figeac Figeac — a wine both powerful and elegant, red-fruited rather than jammy, with cedar, graphite and a hint of dark chocolate running underneath. The 2020 has silky, well-integrated tannins and a very long life ahead, and the half bottle lets you visit a legendary estate without the full-bottle commitment.
Serve with: roast lamb, beef tenderloin, coq au vin, wild mushroom risotto, aged cheeses or dark chocolate desserts.

Its gravel soils and unusually high proportion of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which give a fresher, more structured style than the typical Merlot-dominated Right Bank wine.
The 2020 can be opened now with a long decant, but it is built for the cellar and will improve for many years.
37.5cl — half a standard bottle, roughly two generous glasses.
