Chateau Figeac Premier Grand Cru Classe Class B St-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 Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe St-Emilion
Description: Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau produces some of the appellation's most illustrious wines and Clos Fourtet is enviably situated there. The manor house was built just before the French Revolution and is on the outskirts of the medieval town of Saint-Emilion. Clos Fourtet owes its exclusive reputation to the Rulleau and Carles families. The latter were lords of Figeac. They were the first to grow vines on this barely arable land, which nevertheless has outstanding natural drainage. Clos Fourtet's traditional winemaking methods are supported by the most modern techniques and the ageing in new oak barrels complement all the goodness that nature has bestowed. 80% new barrels. "A very fine effort...the 1995 exhibits a medium-dark plum colour, followed by sweet black cherry and kirsch fruit intertwined with minerals and toasty oak. Tightly-wound on the palate, with medium body, excellent delineation and purity, and a spicy finish...Anticipated maturity, 2004-2018." Parker, 88. (12 x 75 cl)
