HoldWell stockedLisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent 96/100

In 2024 Figeac have truly succeeded in making a remarkable wine, thanks to stringent decisions in the vineyard and ensuring optimal ripeness of the fruit. It was one of the best wines tasted, a real testament to the investment Figeac put in — the wine is vibrant, plush and generous, with 8% press wine meaning the structure is well assured. Deep garnet-purple coloured, it opens with classic notes of cassis, kirsch, pencil shavings and violets, leading to nuances of mint tea and underbrush.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent 96/100

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2024 Figeac opens with classic notes of cassis, kirsch, pencil shavings, and violets, leading to nuances of mint tea and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is dense with tightly wound black and red berry flavors, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing very long with lots of mineral and floral sparks. An absolute triumph in this vintage. Tasted twice with consistent score and notes. Drink 2027-2050
