Château Figeac, 1er GCC "B"
Bordeaux > Saint Emilion - 35.00% Cabernet Franc; 35.00% Cabernet Sauvignon; 30.00% Merlot
|
Figeac is a very ancient estate dating from the Gallo-Roman period. Its origins go back to at least the 2nd century AD, at which time it belonged to the Figeacus family, who gave their name to the “villa” located on this site. Château Figeac has been in the family of the present owners since 1892. Thierry Manoncourt, later assisted by this wife, Marie-France, took great efforts to renovate the vineyards in order to bring Figeac up to the level of the very greatest Bordeaux. Today, their daughter Laure and son-in-law Count Eric d’Aramon have joined them in managing the estate, and perpetuating the family tradition.
Figeac is located in the “Graves de Saint-Emilion”. It has an unusual topography and an outstanding terroir consisting of three gravelly outcrops. This explains why Figeac is the right bank wine with the highest proportion of Cabernet grapes. It is a great but atypical wine, often called “the most Médoc of the Saint Emilion wines”.
