Château Figeac, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “The 2022 Figeac is one of the wines of the vintage. Unfurling in the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of dark berries and cassis mingled with hints of violet, pencil lead, mint and cigar wrapper, it’s medium to full- bodied, dense and concentrated, with striking intensity and sweetness of fruit married with unerring precision and energy, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Abundant but exquisitely filigreed tannins lend a sense of classicism and proportion to a wine that might otherwise be flamboyant. …Could the result be a contemporary version of the estate’s magical 1949?” 100 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 273180 $750
