Petit Figeac Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2018

The Petit Figeac 2018 has a brilliant, dark ruby colour. The nose reveals a perfect maturity of the fruit that continues with aromas of blackberries. The attack is very fresh, the mid-palate opens with deep notes of blackcurrant, the structure is velvety with fine and enveloping tannins, the finish is tasty, long, tapered with an aromatic return all in blueberry elegance. Figeac is a very ancient property. In the 2nd century, the Figeacus family gave its name to the estate. Traces of this Gallo-Roman villa still exist today. In the 15th century, Figeac was one of five noble houses in Saint-Emilion and passed from the Lescours family, who at that time also owned Ausone, into the hands of the Cazes family, who transmitted it through marriage to the Carles in the 17th century. After the Manoncourt family acquired the property in 1892, Figeac was mainly managed by agricultural engineers. However, in 1943, the year in which Thierry Manoncourt made his first vintage, a period of resurgence began for Figeac. Thierry Manoncourt realised in that year the huge potential of Figeac's terroir and urged his mother, a Parisian, to hold on to the estate. In 1955 Chateau-Figeac became a First Great Classified Growth. Today, Madame Manoncourt and her daughters are ably supported by highly skilled wine-growing teams and are as eager as ever to guarantee the long-term continuity of Figeac.
