The 2015 Figeac oozes class on the nose. This has similar scents as before, with predominantly red berry fruit intermixed with potpourri, crushed rose petals and a hint of blood orange. There is so much tension and precision here. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with impressive salinity. It's firm in structure thanks to the Cabernet components and this is sapid and almost Médocian toward the finish. Again, this is one of the standouts from the Right Bank. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. 02/2025

The recent leaps and bounds in improvements that have occurred at this great estate, equating to a dramatic increase in intensity and complexity—without compromising the husky, soft-spoken, sultry voice that is Figeac—is a monumental achievement. Kudos to Frederic Faye and his team for so beautifully expressing what was clearly an extraordinary vintage at Chateau Figeac! Blended of 29% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Figeac reveals vibrant black cherries, cassis, red currants, black plums and licorice notes with touches of cigar boxes, bouquet garni, potpourri, damp soil and black pepper. Medium-bodied, delicately crafted and with nuanced, quietly intense layers of vivacious red and black fruits, the palate features a solid frame of polished, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and minerally.

Fabulous aromas of blackberries, black licorice and lavender. Rose petals, too. Full-bodied, deep and powerful with a sexy tannin texture of plush velvet. Long and caressing. Muscular and poised. Needs until 2022 to come together but a modern and focused Figeac. Dezember 2018
