Thierry Manoncourt brought Figeac to the level of the very greatest Bordeaux. Today, his daughter Laure and his son-in-law Count Eric d’Aramon have joined him in managing the estate, and perpetuating the family tradition.
Figeac is located in the “Graves de Saint-Emilion”. It has an unusual topography and an outstanding terroir consisting of three gravely outcrops. This explains why Figeac is the right band wine with the highest proportion of Cabernet grapes.
Although most of the appellation is planted with Merlot (which is ideal for limestone soils), and to a lesser extent Cabernet Franc, Chateau Figeac uses completely different proportions of grape varieties on account of its fine gravelly soil: 70 % Cabernet (half Cabernet Franc, half Cabernet Sauvignon) and only 30 % Merlot. This unusual blend of grape varieties explains why Figeac can be considered the "most Médoc of Saint-Emilions".
Every vintage of Chateau Figeac has been put into 100% new oak barrels for an average of 18-20 months since the late 1960s.
However, the wine can be enjoyed even when relatively young thanks to the excellent quality of the Merlot. Nevertheless, the high percentage of Cabernet grapes, with strong ageing potential, means that this great wine also lives up to collectors’ expectations.
Château Figeac is a first growth B (Premier Grand Cru Classe B), which offers a combination of first class vineyards, elegant, complex.
