Château Figeac 2018
Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" de St-Emilion
Figeac, een moderne klassieker. Beide elementen vind je terug in deze grote Saint Emilion. Rijpheid en stenige mineraliteit. Brede textuur met stiekem wat verleidelijk zoet. De wijn balanceert op fascinerende wijze tussen twee werelden, de structuur klassiek transparant, daardoorheen fluweel zachtzoet fruit. Complexe, spannende Saint Emilion, gespierd en toch uiterst elegant. Met de rijping gaan al deze elementen samenkomen.

Proefnotitie
Jane Anson Decanter 97 – "Love this vibrant, succulent and welcoming Figeac, great reflection of an excellent vintage in St Emilion. Has plenty of juicy damson and raspberry fuits on the opening beats, with gourmet black pepper and smoked caramel, and velvety tannins that wrap themselves around the fruit and carry it right through the palate. Drawn out finish also, with flecks of lemongrass acidity and slate minerality. Well balanced yet succulent, a little atypical perhaps of Figeac in its upfront charms, but hard to disagree with - and the mint leaf finish brings things back into line. Harvest Sptember 17 to October 12, 100% new oak for ageing."
Jancis Robinson 18 – "Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Light and fresh on the nose. Rich and vibrant. Long lasting and exciting. Really throbbing with life. Clean, silky and fresh."
Antonio Galloni Vinous 98 – "The 2018 Figeac is a regal, aristocratic Saint-Émilion. Vertical in feel, Figeac possesses stunning energy and vibrancy right out of the gate. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, rose petal and spice all open with a bit of coaxing. Figeac is a bit restrained today, but it won't be an issue in another few years' time. Figeac is not an obvious wine, but it is superb."
Yohan Castaing Decanter 100 – "This still exudes the freshness and exuberance that the wine had during the primeur stage with its scents of blackcurrant, raspberry, and crushed strawberry along with a delicate floral touch. The new oak is perfectly integrated while imparting a subtle smoky note. The attack is surprisingly creamy, announcing a full-bodied texture wrapped around perfectly polished tannins allied with fine-judged acidity that together provide thrust leading to a finish that is intense yet light-footed and infused with freshness. This is a truly remarkable wine that will surely develop an even more velvety mouthfeel in years to come. Bravo."
