The 2024 vintage of Château Figeac is the fruit of a challenge brilliantly met, in an unpredictable climatic context. Marked by exceptional rainfall, this wine bears witness to the resilience of an exceptional terroir and the precision of exemplary human work.
La robe is a deep, brilliant ruby color, foreshadowing great concentration.
The nose gradually reveals notes of black cherry, blackcurrant and violet, enriched by hints of incense, licorice and graphite, the signature of its Cabernet nobles. With aeration, complexity intensifies, with spicy accents and a fine, perfectly integrated woody structure.
On the palate, the attack is pure, straightforward and immediately elegant. The wine unfolds with balance on a silky, precise texture. The natural freshness that is the hallmark of this vintage underpins the wine's density and lengthens the finish.
The fine, racy tannins create a structure of gentle tension, typical of great Figeac wines. The 2024 blend (33% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers a remarkable harmony of fruit, finesse and energy.
This Château Figeac 2024 promises to be a wine of refined, long-lasting expression, illustrating the total commitment of Domaine in the face of climatic hazards. A great wine for laying down, both luminous and profound, that magnifies its terroir and affirms the greatness of the cru.
