Château Figeac 2017 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 1er Grand Cru Classé B

The nose is elegant, powerful, harmonious and offers complexity as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of ripe cassis, violet and small note of blackberry associated with fine touches of small blue fruits, gray pepper, tonka bean, strawberry, cardamom and graphite. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, juicy and offers a beautiful freshness, justness, tension, fat as well as a good definition. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, juicy blackberry, juicy/fleshy raspberry and small notes of small blue fruits associated with fine touches of flowers (cornflower, violet), toasted, almond, graphite, cocoa as well as discreet hints of hazelnut, menthol liquorice and sweet spices. Tannins are elegant and offer a very discreet chew. Good length.
