The best Saint-Émilions, Spear's Magazine - 2016 Château Figeac
With a wine of this quality in the back catalogue, it’s little wonder Figeac was promoted to 1er Grand Cru Classé ‘A’ in 2022.
An almost equal blend of Merlot, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv (slightly dominant), it’s crammed with luscious, rich, ripe, blackberry with hints of spice and opens in the mouth with genial generosity before a long, mineral finish. It’s exuberantly fresh and ready to go – just – but will get even better.
