Château Figeac 1988 - Saint-Emilion

Presentation of the domain:

Château Figeac is a renowned wine estate located in Saint-Émilion, in Gironde. Founded in 1732, it is one of the oldest estates in the region. The property covers 40 hectares, including 35 hectares of vines. The vineyard is planted on an exceptional terroir, made up of gravel and clay, which gives it great quality and unique character.

It benefits from a gravelly terroir where the other crus of Saint Emilion 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 more than in the Saint-Emilion style.

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

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

By its regularity, its aging potential and its unique style, Figeac is one of the most sought-after Bordeaux wines by wine lovers.
