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. Figeac was rated as Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) in the 1955 Saint-Émilion Classification – a status it retained through every subsequent iteration of the classification until 2022, when it was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé (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. 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.
