Tasting notes
Aroma
Radiates from the glass with a breathtaking bouquet of crushed boysenberry, crème de cassis, and fresh violets, perfectly woven with nuances of unlit cigar, dark chocolate, and graphite.
Palate
Defined by profound architectural power and striking elegance. The palate delivers a deep, full-bodied core of dark plum and ripe blackberry, framed by incredibly polished, pixelated tannins. It drives with tremendous energy and focus to a monumental, minutes-long finish laced with crushed rock and savory spice.

Figeac is the ultimate outlier of Saint-Émilion. While the rest of the region leans almost entirely on Merlot, Figeac sits on a massive bed of deep gravel that allows them to heavily feature Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The result is a wine that possesses the architectural structure of a Left Bank First Growth combined with the lush, aromatic opulence of Pomerol. This exact combination of power and elegance is exactly what led to Figeac's historic, official elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status.
The 2018 vintage is universally recognized as one of the absolute greatest wines this historic estate has ever produced, earning perfect 100-point scores across the board. Now at 8 years of age, the wine is just beginning to shed its youthful armor and reveal its legendary complexity. Finding a perfect-scoring Classé "A" trophy with this much money left on the table is an undeniable win for any serious Bordeaux collector.
