Petit Figeac, St Emillion Grand Cru 2021
In stock
Petit-Figeac is the second wine of Château Figeac which takes its name from its Roman owner, Figeacus. Two thousand years ago, the agriculturalists of the time spotted the potential of this terroir. Over the interceding years the property grew to 200 hectares encompassing great swathes of St Emilion and Pomerol. Sales to the likes of La Conseillante and Cheval Blanc formed new ‘legendary’ estates in their own right.
Attractive and enticing, expect a more savoury Petit Figeac in recent years - with delicacy and finesse. Emphasis on red cherry and brambled fruits, supple and fine tannins. 37hl/h yield, 30% new French oak for ageing, a good long harvest stretching from September 21 to October 19.
