Château Figeac 2022 18000ml

Figeac with a capital "A" An eventful year for Château-Figeac, 2022 marked 130 years of enduring and devoted ownership for the Manoncourt Family. In the same year, it was awarded Premier Grand Cru Classé A status in the most recent Saint-Emilion ranking. This classification acknowledges the sustained work, passion and persistence of an entire team to promote this legendary vineyard to its rightful place at the uppermost echelons. And to achieve this, the investment in time and money for the Manoncourt family, their collaborators and Managing Director Frédéric Faye, has known no bounds; the new winery, inaugurated in spring 2021, is the perfect illustration. It is a geological exception for its appellation, with three quartz and flint gravel outcrops, several metres deep, and blue clay subsoil, forming an infinite patchwork of plots which give the wine its core identity. 2022, a vintage that shines brilliantly in Figeac's history.

The mouth is vibrant and dynamic throughout the tasting. A caressing sweetness, supported by the fleshiness of the Cabernet Sauvignon, enveloping the tannins of the Cabernet Franc, melts on the palate. These fine, harmoniously integrated tannins reinforce the sensation of perfect balance. The tasting ends on a fresh, long and minty touch giving an airy and thirst-quenching dimension that sublimates the typicality of the Château-Figeac style. "The 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status." William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 98-100pts "The 2022 is a towering Figeac, a wine that brilliantly showcases the unique qualities of this site" Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 96-99pts
