Description

2006 Château Figeac, St Emilion, BordeauxWith a higher proportion of Cabernet varieties (66%) than any other St Emilion property, an elegant, structured style and a classic, grand chteau, Ch. Figeac is justifiably known as the 'Mdoc of St Emilion'. The dense, perfumed nose is rich and beguiling but the palate is far more restrained; very stylish with a good concentration of taut, elegant, black cherry fruit with tobacco and coffee hints, and lovely balance. The firm tannins and fresh acidity

beautiful overall balance

I tasted the constituent parts in the spring and the blend in November

Sugars were very good as were the associated acid levels

quite mineral-driven
