100 Points - Decanter
The 2022 Château Figeac is an extraordinary achievement and a leading contender for wine of the vintage. Defying the hot, dry growing season, it combines confidence, elegance and remarkable freshness. Aromas of bright bramble fruit, flowers, graphite and cedar lead to a smooth, supple palate where silky tannins provide both precision and structure. Vibrant red berry fruit, saline minerality and outstanding energy are balanced by impressive depth and power, resulting in a flawlessly harmonious wine. The first vintage released following the estate's promotion to Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A, it was harvested between September 1 and 26, the earliest in the estate's history.
100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Château Figeac is a legendary wine crafted from 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, with malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by 18 months in new French oak. Deep purple in color, it reveals magnificent aromas of cassis, spring flowers, crushed stone, graphite and subtle tobacco. Full-bodied yet astonishingly weightless, it combines immense richness with flawless purity, extraordinary finesse and seamless elegance.
100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the defining wines of the 2022 vintage, the Château Figeac opens with a complex bouquet of dark berries, cassis, violet, pencil lead, mint and cigar wrapper. Medium- to full-bodied, it is dense and concentrated while maintaining remarkable precision and freshness. Exquisitely refined tannins provide classical balance, leading to a long, penetrating finish that perfectly captures the estate's Cabernet-driven identity and exceptional terroir.
99 Points - James Suckling
A profound expression of Figeac, displaying aromas of graphite, gravel, dark chocolate, blackberries, blueberries, hazelnut and truffle. The palate is taut and compact, driven by vibrant, finely textured tannins and exceptional tension. Crafted from 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers remarkable freshness, precision and a long, chalky finish despite the warmth of the vintage.
