Chateau Figeac 1er Cru Classe B Saint Emilion
Description: 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 Figeac 1er Cru Classe B Saint Emillion
Description: 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. "With beautiful fruit and nicely integrated tannin, it is not a blockbuster, but a Figeac that combines richness with a stylish yet intense perfume. Anticipated maturity, 2001-2015." Parker, . (12 x 75 cl)
