Château Figeac 1996 - Saint-Emilion

Château Figeac owes its great success to several elements.

It benefits from a gravelly terroir where the other Saint Emilion crus are located on clay-limestone soils. The dominant Cabernet grape variety is therefore adapted to produce powerful and structured wines in the style of Medoc wines rather than in the Saint-Emilion style.

Another particularity is that the aging is systematically 100% in new barrels. Ensuring a structure and significant aging potential.

Finally, very precise vinification using avant-garde techniques has allowed Figeac to ensure great consistency in the quality of its productions.

Due to its consistency, its aging potential and its unique style, Figeac is one of the Bordeaux wines most sought after by wine lovers.
