1961 | Chateau Figeac | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The 1961 Château Figeac is one of the estate's most iconic historic wines, produced during what is widely considered one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages ever made. Severe spring frosts drastically reduced yields, concentrating the remaining fruit and creating wines of extraordinary depth, complexity, and longevity. In Saint-Émilion, Château Figeac crafted a wine that perfectly balanced richness, freshness, and its distinctive Cabernet-driven elegance.

Producer Information

Château Figeac is a highly rated and well regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion 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. There has been an estate on the site since Roman times, although viticulture only grew significantly following the middle ages. By the 18th Century the vineyard was much larger until sections were sold off in the 19th Century, including those that expanded Cheval Blanc in 1832. Numerous properties attest to this dispersal with a number of neighboring châteaux containing an appended "Figeac" to their titles, including the likes of Yon Figeac and La Tour du Pin Figeac.
