Chateau Figeac, located in the heart of Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, is revered for its rich history and elegant wines. Dating back to the 2nd century, the estate spans 40 hectares of vineyards planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The gravelly and sandy soils overlaying a limestone subsoil provide excellent drainage and contribute to the complexity and finesse of their wines.
Owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892, Figeac has maintained a tradition of excellence and innovation in winemaking. Their Grand Vin is acclaimed for its balance, purity of fruit, and aging potential, representing the essence of their terroir. Carefully selected grapes are vinified with precision and aged in oak barrels to achieve depth and complexity, resulting in a wine of remarkable elegance and longevity.
Petit-Figeac, their second wine, offers a glimpse into the estate’s terroir with a focus on approachability and accessibility, making it a favorite among Bordeaux enthusiasts. The chateau itself is a blend of historical and modern architecture, surrounded by manicured gardens and vineyards that reflect their dedication to preserving their heritage and producing wines of exceptional character.
Chateau Figeac continues to uphold its reputation as one of Saint-Émilion’s premier estates, crafting wines that embody the essence of their prestigious appellation and captivate wine lovers worldwide.
