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.

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