In Roman times, the estate belonged to a family called Figeacus, main villa stood on the site of the present château. Traces of the original pipework remain. A blend of 36% Cab Sauv, (a typical Figeac usually higher % Cab), 23% Merlot & 41% Cab Franc with berry fruit aromas, spice and floral notes. 2nd wine shows blackberry and plum flavors with cigar spice & oak on soft dusty tannins. Full-bodied, long finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral. Good now cellar over next 5 years.

This is smoothing out from a year ago. Strong berry, licorice, and allspice. The bitterness I remember is gone and the wine finishes very smoothly. Solid merlot from the right bank.

41% cab franc, 36 cab sauvignon and 23% merlot. Very accessible but with plenty of fine layers and complexity. Juicy.

3/6.5/9.25 =18.75 out of 100 say 91.5
Plenty of tannin with a gentle but dry mouth feel and a long linger. Rich nose of chocolate, pencil shaving and ripe cherry. Medium body.

Classy than I was in my twenties that’s for sure. A fresh and vibrant taste. Once again, unlike me in my twenties
