Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2016

Figeac are among the finest St. Emilion estates, known for their higher inclusion of Cabernet Sauvignon to the norm on the right-bank. The 54 hectares of vineyards lie on a deep, Médoc-like gravel topsoil over a flinty, iron-rich subsoil. Figeac was promoted in 2022 to the level of Premier Grand Cru Classé A, the top tier of the St Emilion classification.

Relatively speaking, one of the finest top-tier buys in Bordeaux.

"This is a classic Figeac, up there with the 1947 and 1949, both recently re-tasted and testifying to a wine that genuinely belongs among the elite Saint-Émilions. Faye believes it is the best Figeac he has ever made. He is correct." Neal Martin on rating the Figeac 2016 100pts.
