Producer Information

Chteau Figeac is a highly rated and well regarded wine estate in the Saint-milion appellation of Bordeaux, on the so-called right bank of the Dordogne river in the northeast of the region. Figeac’s eponymous flagship wine (or “grand vin” as is often called) is known for its rich nose, silky texture and elegance, and for its aging potential in better vintages.Figeac was rated as Premier Grand Cru Class (B) in the 1955 Saint-milion Classification a status it retained through every subsequent iteration of the classification until 2022, when it was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Class (A). The wine is widely considered to have markedly improved since World War II under the ownership of Thierry Manoncourt, becoming one of the most sought-after Right Bank Bordeaux reds.
