Château Figeac 2020
Description
Description
France / Bordeaux / Saint-Èmilion
While Merlot is predominantly grown on clay and limestone soils in Saint-Èmilion, 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 offer outstanding potential, which explains the unique balance of the cuvées made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot grape varieties. The family estate 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, having introduced La Grange Neuve de Figeac (now Petit Figeac) in 1945.
