Château Figeac
In Saint‑Émilion, Château‑Figeac stands among the region’s historic names; the Manoncourt family has shaped it since 1892, and in 2022 it was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé A. Unusually for the Right Bank, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc hold a major role alongside Merlot.
Gravel‑dominant soils on Saint‑Émilion’s western edge explain that choice: gravel provides drainage and warmth, deeper clays add reserve and balance. Parcels are handled separately with strict selection, and fermentation is driven by precision rather than sheer extraction.
Élevage in French oak and larger formats is calibrated for integration and a long, clear line. Figeac turns history into a distinct signature—structured, mineral and built for ageing—showing Saint‑Émilion through a profile that quietly echoes the Médoc.Château Figeac
