Château Figeac Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A

APELLATION BORDEAUX CONTRÔLÉE, PRODUIT DE FRANCE, TROCKEN Verkostnotiz Parker:A wine that transcends the vintage's challenges, the 2021 Figeac is performing brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with striking top notes of violet, rose petal, iris and mint. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's pure and vibrant, its enveloping core of fruit framed by ultra-refined tannins, concluding with a long, floral finish. Readers in the habit of drinking top grand cru Burgundy are liable to find themselves seduced by this immensely elegant, perfumed Saint-Émilion, a wine I'll definitely be adding to my own cellar. It's the result of gamble that paid off, as Figeac's team chose to wait to pick their Cabernet Sauvignon despite the menace of forecast rain—a menace that, in fact, scarcely transpired. The 2021 saw a somewhat shorter-than-usual élevage of 16 months in barrel without fining. 96+Verkostnotiz Wine Enthusiast:95–97. Barrel Sample. The wine is fresh with a fine structure from the 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc in the blend. It is a structured wine, light while also showing ripe black currant fruits and an edge of spice. With its fine acidity at the end, this is an excellent reflection of the year. Roger VossVerkostnotiz Falstaff:Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von dunklen Waldbeeren, zarte Gewürznoten, ein Hauch von Nougat und Herzkirschen. Saftig, elegant, frisch und ausgewogen, dezente Fruchtsüße, reife Tannine, finessenreich und bereits gut entwickelt, mineralisch, sehr präzise und mit guter Länge ausgestattet, salziger Nachhall, toller Begleiter bei Tisch.
