Figeac was a vast feudal domain in the Middle Ages, originally built around a major Gallo-Roman villa called Figeacus. It has belonged to the Manoncourt family since 1892. Thierry and Marie-France Manoncourt are the current owners. Figeac is one of two Premiers Grands Cru Classes located in the Graves Saint-Emilion part of the appellation. The estate's soil is absolutely unique with unusual gravelly rises. Figeac is the right bank estate with the highest proportion of Cabernet grapes . The winemaking is done in a traditional vat room with ten large oak vats and a second room has ten stainless steel vats, all temperature controlled. 100% new oak is used for each vintage. "...a gorgeously complex, dark ruby-coloured wine that is all delicacy and complexity. This is a soft, forward style of Figeac that can be drunk young or cellared. Anticipated maturity, Now-2010." Parker, 89. (12 x 75 cl)

Although most of the appellation is planted with Merlot , and to a lesser extent Cabernet Franc, Chateau Figeac uses completely different proportions of grape varieties on account of its fine gravelly soil. Here 70 % Cabernet and only 30 % Merlot is used and this unusual blend of grape varieties explains why Figeac can be considered the 'most Medoc of Saint-Emilions'. The result of this blend is a wine of great harmony and power with underlying eleganceshowing a profusion of red and black fruits. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Yon Figeac owned by the Germain family, is renowned for finesse and tenderness. The Grapes come from a 25 hectare vineyard planted mainly with Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc that make up the blend of this grand cru. 'This deep red coloured wine has aromas of tobacco, berry, mineral and dried herbs, while it is full-bodied, with juicy, fine tannins and a long finish.'Robert Parker.
