RP98-100 A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine to celebrate the elevation of this property to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status. Emanating from the glass aromas of raspberries and cassis mixed with hints of iris, forest floor, cigar wrapper and pencil lead, it is medium to full bodied, pure and perfumed, with a deep, multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and beautifully refined. Serious yet civilized tannins, it is the quintessential Figeac, testament to the late Thierry Manoncourt's vision of planting such a large proportion of Cabernet and drought-resistant rootstocks. Such is the complexity inherent in the Figeac terroirs that the harvest was carried out block by block between September 1 and 25. Congratulations to the Manoncourt family, director Frédéric Faye, consultant winemaker Thomas Duclos and his entire team.
