Château Figeac 2009, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

Figeac is one of Saint-Émilion’s most historic estates, tracing its roots back to Roman times. Its large gravel soils make it unique in the appellation, with a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, closer in style to the Médoc than its Merlot-driven neighbors.

2009 was a warm, sunny year that produced opulent wines across Bordeaux. Figeac 2009 shows that richness, but with Cabernet’s structure and freshness, delivering both immediate pleasure and long-term potential.
