The classic blend for Figeac with its 32% of Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc gives a beautifully dense wine with great tannins. The wine is perfumed while the complex tannins are finely cushioned by the generous black fruits and acidity. It is a wine for long-term aging. Drink from 2026.

Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Figeac waltzes out with showy scents of baked black cherries and plum preserves followed by hints of candied violets, licorice, and sandalwood. The medium-bodied palate delivers generous black fruits with a velvety texture and impressive tension, finishing long and fragrant. Tasted blind with the Southwold Group in London in February 2024.

Quite different in feel to most of the St Emilions in this lineup, lovely balance, focus on cassis and juicy dark fruits, with liqourice and slate. Feels ripe without losing any of the integrity of the fruit character, poised and at a brilliant moment to start enjoying, juicy finish and plenty of length. 33hl/hyield, 100% new oak for aging. Harvest September 9 to October 12. Last tasted two years ago, and this has really opened up.

Intensely aromatic nose, floral and lifted but deep and dark too. Ripe and fully flavoured, if not weighty and plush. This has concentration and a feeling of power and kick underneath the bright red cherry fruit and salty sides, licks of wet stones and graphite. Tannins are present, just gripping the cheeks and lingering on the tongue. It's more elegant than in your face but I like it's style. Confident but not showing off. Feels like it has lots of life in it yet too.
