Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicate herbal spice, fresh red heart cherries, delicate cassis, a hint of mandarin zest, mineral touch. Complex, tightly meshed, black cherries, good freshness on the palate too, silky-soft, ripe, supporting tannins that are very well integrated, extract-sweet finish, salty touch, has great length, very seductive style, perhaps the most precise Figeac ever,

(98-100 points) Flowers, forest leaves, raspberries, tobacco leaves, plums, and a hint of espresso already express their nuances in the perfume. The palate is shaped by the gorgeous purity of the fruit. From there, elegance, a relaxed vibe, and tension provide lift, allowing you to enjoy the creamy, silky palate, with its multiple layers of fruit and mineral essence, lingering for close to 60 seconds. Perhaps the most salient factors that shaped the 2025 vintage were the number of sun hours, combined with heat and drought, followed by cool nights. This combination of events has not occurred before. The wine blends 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Cabernet Franc. 9% Press wine. 13.2% ABV, 3.65 pH.

(98-100 points) Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2025 Figeac prances out of the glass with a flamboyant perfume of candied violets, black raspberries, star anise, dark chocolate, and mossy bark, opening out to a profound core of mulberries, cassis, and juicy blueberries. The medium-bodied palate shimmers with a mesmerizing array of perfumed black and blue fruit, framed by very firm, fine-grained tannins and amazing tension, finishing very long with a firework display of mineral and floral sparks.

(97-99 points) Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Figeac is based on 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 1-10 from yields of 24 hectoliters per hectare and raised in 100% new French oak. Its deep color gives way to an ultra-classic bouquet of cassis, violets, graphite, and leafy tobacco that gives this a slightly Médoc-like character. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with an incredibly pure, graceful mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and flawless balance in its fruit, acidity, and alcohol. It hit 13.1% alcohol with a pH of 3.64, and it's a brilliant, finesse-driven, incredibly classic Figeac.

(97-99 points) The 2025 Figeac shows exceptional potential, unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries and minty blackberries mingled with sweet spices, pencil lead and burning embers. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and deep, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish, this integrated and balanced Figeac is a serious wine, built for the long haul. Fully 90% of production went into the grand vin this year, and it's a blend of 38% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vivid colour in the glass with absolutely gorgeous perfumed aromas, almost sweet purple flowers and blackcurrants. Really vibrant and expressive, so alive with a touch of medicinal herbal eucalyptus too plus blue fruit and cola. Creamy and soft straight away, silky smooth and so juicy, this is bursting with life and juiciness — such a pure and happy wine. Really focused, precise and detailed with absolute clarity but silky, finely structured tannins. Pure happiness in a glass. Super drinkable, a fabulous wine — succulent with the perfect tannin feel, creamy, velvety and really softly chalky on the finish with a cool mint and cola element that lingers. I love the construction and elegance here. Pure refinement without being too strict or tight. Similar to 2023 in terms of freshness. Perfection. Intense but not showing off, nothing out of place – a showstopper that is perfectly ripe with perfect acidity. 3.66pH. A yield of 25hl/ha. 90% grand vin. 8% press wine.

Inky colour with violet reflections, swirling cooca bean and espresso, blood orange, baked plum, blueberry, blackberries, chalky tannins, palma violets, peony, iris flowers, slate-strewn tannic architecture, intense and concentrated, great stuff with clear ageing potential. Harvest September 1 to 19, 3.64 pH, 25hl/ha yield, 3.64ph. Frederic Faye director. No deleafing during the growing season, and reduced canopy height, and a cool vinifcation approach. 90% Grand Vin, 10% Petit Figeac.

(96-98 points) The 2025 Figeac is a powerful, deeply structured wine. Dark-fleshed fruit, mocha, incense, scorched earth, tobacco and grilled herbs soar across the palate in a towering Figeac of the highest level. All the elements are so well balanced. A season marked by very gradual ripening yielded an especially aromatic, perfumed Grand Vin. Yields were 25 hectoliters per hectare, harvested at a very modest 13% potential alcohol. The 2025 saw a cold maceration lasting six to eight days, with no sulfur added at crush, followed by another three weeks or so on the skins. Tasted two times. - Antonio Galloni

(96-98 points) A beautifully precise expression on the nose, very classic for Figeac, led by perfumed and scented black fruits, with blackcurrant and olive, a little dense and sweet, but with a freshening note of mint, white peach and rose. This is followed by a deliciously svelte palate, with plenty of polished and velvety substance, carrying that same sweet and concentrated blackcurrant fruit, supported by thread of tobacco and toast, and a very pure and ripe tannic backbone. It finishes with a heady flourish of scented black fruits, and the energy within comes out through the middle, with beautifully reposed, integrated tannins and fresh acidity. This is a concentrated yet fresh and delineated Figeac with a great length, some very classic traits, as well as the unique paradox of the vintage – ripeness and freshness combined – within. It is certainly a Figeac fans of this estate should seek out. A classic blend of 38% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon this year, picked from September 1st to the 19th, with a yield of 25 hl/ha. The alcohol is a mere 13.1% on average. 96-98/100

(96-97 points) A dense yet open-grained red. It’s layered, with dusty tannins that give it a velvety texture and a medium- to full-bodied palate with plum, currant and cedar flavors. Juicy. 13% alcohol. Merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon.

(94-97 points) Fruity and cherry-like deep and intense nose, vibrant, fresh and spicy. Never a heavy weigh, Figeac is fresh, oaky and clean with notes of peppery spices, red currants and a long, elegant and high toned aftertaste. This vintage of Figeac will be approachable earlier and should be ready after 3-4 years in bottle.
