Château Figeac St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé 2020
The first vintage since they were crowned Premier Grand Cru Classé A (although not on the label until 2022), and it’s a confident showing straight out of the gate. Barely puts a foot wrong as the concentrated nature of this wine En Primeur begin to melt into a creamier expression of raspberry, blackberry and cassis fruits, studded with turmeric, cardamon, white pepper, peony, tobacco leaf, pomegranate, liqourice and smoked earth. 75% of the production in the 1st wine, harvest a long and leisurely five weeks from September 4 to October 1. 37hl/ha. An upscore.
