Wine Enthusiast, April 2017

The classic blend for Figeac with its 32% of Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc gives a beautifully dense wine with great tannins. The wine is perfumed while the complex tannins are finely cushioned by the generous...

The Wine Independent, March 2024

Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Figeac waltzes out with showy scents of baked black cherries and plum preserves followed by hints of candied violets, licorice, and sandalwood. The medium-bodied palate delivers...

janeanson.com, February 2024

Quite different in feel to most of the St Emilions in this lineup, lovely balance, focus on cassis and juicy dark fruits, with liqourice and slate. Feels ripe without losing any of the integrity of the fruit character...

jebdunnuck.com, November 2017

The 2014 Château Figeac had a tough act to follow coming after the 2015 yet it showed beautifully, with the finesse, elegance, and purity that’s the hallmark of the vintage. Black fruits, charcoal, truffle, and tobacco...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2017

The 2014 Figeac builds on its promise from barrel and delivers a very fulfilling bouquet with red plum, crushed strawberry, cedar and light graphite aromas that I suspect will close down for a period after bottling. (The...

Vinous, March 2024

The 2014 Figeac has a nose that is a cut above some of its peers, fresher and more vibrant, in for the long haul with raspberry and wild strawberry, autumn bonfire, pencil box and just a touch of meat juices. Lovely! The...

Wine Spectator, January 2017

Shows cocoa and espresso edges along the core of dark currant and fig fruit, with lots of loamy depth on the finish. Notes of tobacco and warm stone are already emerging, but this will still need some time to muscle...

Decanter,

On the palate, the subdued fruit on the attack is a reminder that the right bank struggled in 2014 to achieve the same level of success as the exceptional 2015s and 2016s. But this is not a wine to dismiss in any way. A...

The open nose of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and bitter chocolate pulls you into this ample St.-Emilion that has a very satisfying interplay of sweet fruit and moderately dry tannins. Has only just shaken off the first...

The Figeac 2014 is a prestigious Bordeaux blend that exemplifies the richness and complexity of wines from the Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux, France. With a remarkable score of 97 from Wine Enthusiast, this red wine is a testament to the mastery of its producer, Figeac.

Composed of 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Cabernet Franc, this wine presents a beautiful density, underlined by formidable tannins. It unveils an enchanting perfume, while the complex tannins are subtly cushioned by generous black fruits and bright acidity. As recommended by Wine Enthusiast, it’s a wine designed for long-term aging, with optimal drinking starting from 2026.

The wine's color is a deep, inviting red. On the nose, it presents opulent, ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and bitter chocolate notes. On the palate, it offers a satisfying interplay of sweet fruit and moderately dry tannins, with a long, quite dry finish and a delicate mint-chocolate note. This is a wine that has gracefully transitioned from its youthful effusiveness and still promises a lot of life.

Tobacco and warm stone notes are already emerging, alongside cocoa and espresso edges that envelop a core of dark currant and fig fruit. The finish is marked by loamy depth, indicating this wine will require some time to fully blend into harmony. Its alcohol content is 13.0%, and it is sealed with a cork closure.

In conclusion, the 2014 Figeac is a wine of finesse, elegance, and purity. It's a wine that oozes charm and sophistication, with soft tannins and silky textures. Whether you choose to enjoy it now or keep it for a few more years, this wine promises a remarkable tasting experience.
