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 nice blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot & Cab Franc with berry fruit aromas, cigar box spice and floral notes. This 2nd wine shows flavors of blackberry and cherry with tobacco spice & oak on soft fine tannins. Full-bodied, long finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral. Need short term cellaring.

Petit-Figeac 2021
Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷🍷
Overview
The second wine of Château Figeac, blending Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. A refined, slightly lighter expression that mirrors the elegance of its First Growth sibling while remaining approachable young.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh red berries, plum, and cassis intertwined with gentle spice and hints of graphite. Subtle floral and herbal tones add lift.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, silky tannins, and a seamless structure. Long finish with finesse rather than sheer power.
Verdict
A beautifully balanced second label — elegant, complex, and drinking well now, with the backbone to evolve over the next 5–7 years.
