Château Figeac St Emilion Grand Cru Petit Figac 2018

Figeac has made a 2nd wine since 1945, and it is consistently one of the best in Bordeaux. This one feels like a wine to own, showing heaps of plush black and red fruit, liquorice, cocoa bean, cherry puree and a more savoury cherry pit, cloves, cocoa bean and juicy tannins. The 2018 2nd wines of big name estates are having a moment if our tastings this week are anything to go by, definitely worth looking out for.
