Decanter, April 2023

(DC 98-100 points) An incredibly impressive wine in 2022 shaping up to be the wine of the vintage not only as it seems to defy the hot and dry conditions in every way but delivers such confidence and charm it makes it...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, May 2023

(98-100 points) It takes nothing to sense all the intensity, freshness, and depth here. But, more importantly, it is the character. The wine is sensuous, sultry, and lively. The fruits are drenched in cashmere, and velvet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2023

(WA 98-100 points) A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status...

Wine Enthusiast, November 2023

(WE 98-100 points) This wine, with its 65% of the two Cabernets, is dense and ripe, with great acidity and freshness. It is a beautifully textured and rich wine. The wine's concentration is impressive. — Roger Voss

(97 - 99 points) A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is deep garnet-purple in color. It rolls out of the glass with eager-to-please scents of juicy blackberries, plum...

Vinous, May 2023

(VN 96-99 points) The 2022 Figeac is a magnificent, super-classic Figeac, as odd as that might sound in this freakish vintage. A wine of sublime delicacy and nuance, the 2022 possesses tremendous aromatic presence...

jamessuckling.com, April 2023

(JS 97-98 points) This is the earliest ever harvest for Figeac and the fruit is something else. Flowers such as violets. Blackberries. Currants. Cherry blossom. Full-bodied with lovely freshness and depth. Crunchy and...

janeanson.com, April 2023

Vibrant damson in colour, edges of gunsmoke and red rose petals on the aromatics, as you so often find in Figeac, with dense cassis, black cherry, incense, graphite, slate, mint leaf, cocoa bean, cappucino and liquorice...

jebdunnuck.com, May 2023

(96-98+ points) A beautiful wine that, shockingly, reminds me of the 2016, the 2022 Château Figeac checks in as 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon that was harvested from the 1st of September to...
