2011 Chateau Figeac, St Emilion, Bordeaux

35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot. Winter was cold and dried up until the second half of March. The sudden temperature rise triggered an early budburst on 26 March. April was almost summer-like. The months of May and June were marked by a significant deficit of rainfall requiring appropriate working of the soil, according to the principle that ‘a good ploughing is worth two good waterings’.
