Figeac

With its unusual grape varieties for the appellation, in parity between the cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, Figeac has a style all its own. Often austere and compact in his youth, it unfolds completely after a long custody.

All those who are lucky enough to taste today of the 1940 vintages, 1950 and 1960 know how the soil of Figeac, close to White Horse, is capable of giving wines.

Thierry Manoncourt, to whom we owe some of the most successful property, continues to defend, now with his son, Eric of'Aramon, a resolutely classic wines of St. Emilion, not overripe grapes livestock or noisy.

Alongside the competition animals that stand out in a blind tasting, Figeac is often pale, but after a few years in the cellar, the wine has a quite unique and a stamp. peti after floating in the early 1990s, Figeac is once again firing on all cylinders.
