The 2010 Château Figeac is a monumental expression of this singular terroir and vintage. The bouquet is striking, offering layers of cassis, blackberry, graphite, tobacco, and violet, underscored by subtle notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, it combines concentration with precision: finely sculpted tannins, vibrant acidity, and a deep core of dark fruit provide both power and elegance. The hallmark Cabernet component delivers structure and aromatic lift, while the Merlot adds richness and flesh. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and persistent, promising decades of graceful development. Already compelling, the 2010 Figeac is a benchmark wine that captures both the intensity of the vintage and the timeless character of the estate.
Château Figeac, located on the western edge of Saint-Émilion, is one of the most historic and distinctive estates on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Known for its unusually high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot, Figeac stands apart for producing wines of structure, freshness, and longevity. With its origins dating back to Roman times and centuries of continuous cultivation, the estate has built a reputation as the “Right Bank’s Médoc,” bridging Saint-Émilion’s elegance with Left Bank power. Under the long stewardship of the Manoncourt family, Figeac has become a reference point for age-worthy wines that balance opulence with finesse.
