Returning to its classic blend after the frost-affected 2017 vintage, the 2018 Château Figeac beautifully balances the year's richness with exceptional freshness and precision. Silky in texture with inky depth, it gradually unfolds layers of complexity while powerful tannins build seamlessly across the palate. A magnificent, age-worthy wine that stands alongside the outstanding 2016.

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

Reminiscent of the elegant 2016, the 2018 Château Figeac displays remarkable purity with aromas of crème de cassis, red currants, dried earth, tobacco, lead pencil, spring flowers and exotic spice. Medium- to full-bodied with flawless balance and silky tannins, it delivers extraordinary finesse without revealing any influence from its 100% new oak aging. Give it 4–5 years in bottle, then enjoy over the next 20–30 years.

Sleek, focused and exceptionally refined, this wine delivers a vibrant core of cassis and cherry purée accented by red tea, bergamot and bay leaf. Fresh and energetic throughout, it concludes with a long, chalky finish that lingers gracefully. Crafted from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2038.
