Chateau Figeac Grand Cru 2020

The 2020 Château Figeac pours a deep garnet and unfurls with layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, threaded with violet, cedar shaving and a touch of graphite. The palate is polished yet authoritative, carrying silky but persistent tannins that frame a vivid core of fruit. Fresh, precise acidity and seamlessly integrated oak deliver drive and definition, while the finish is long, refined and mineral-tinged with echoes of dark berries, cocoa and subtle spice. A poised, age-worthy Figeac that marries Right Bank charm to Left Bank structure. Serve at 16–18 °C; outstanding with prime beef, lamb and truffle-accented dishes.
