About Château Figeac 1996
Bottle (75cl)

Premier Grand Cru Classé B, the Chateau Figeac is a historical figure of the Saint Emilion appellation.
Located on the western border of the AOC, it borders the Pomerol appellation and derives part of its identity from its special grape variety for St Emilion with only 30% Merlot, compared to 35% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 1996 vintage of Château Figeac presents a beautiful deep garnet colour with purple hints.
It appears silently on the first nose, but after a few minutes it opens up and offers a bouquet of red fruits and earth accompanied by woody notes of cedar.
On the palate, it reveals a beautiful tannic structure and great balance. The palate is covered with black and red fruits, blackberries, with a hint of menthol and a touch of leather.

Château Figeac 1996 is an elegant Premier Cru Classé, with a perfect harmony between balance, complexity and ripe fruit.
