a blend of 35% merlot, 34% cabernet franc and 31% cabernet sauvignon, the 2022 figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to premier grand cru classé "a" status. wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cassis mingled with notions of iris, forest floor, cigar wrapper and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and beautifully refined tannins. serious yet civilized, it's the quintessential figeac, testament to the late thierry manoncourt's vision to plant such a large proportion of cabernet, and on drought-resistant rootstocks. such is the inherent complexity of figeac's terroirs that harvest took place sub-block by sub-block between september 1st and 25th. congratulations are in order for the manoncourt family, director frédéric faye, consulting winemaker thomas duclos and all their team.
