Château Figeac 2017
Description
Description
France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion
While Merlot is primarily grown on clay and limestone soils in Saint-Émilion, the vineyards of Château-Figeac are located on three gravel hills, which are more suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, similar to the left bank of the Garonne. The soils have outstanding potential, which explains the unique balance of the cuvées made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grape varieties. The family winery is one of the oldest and largest châteaux in Saint-Émilion. The former owner Thierry Manoncourt is considered the creator of the "second wine" concept when he introduced La Grange Neuve de Figeac (now Petit Figeac) in 1945.
