There have been some serious improvements here recently under winemaker Frédéric Faye. Stunning wines in recent vintages make Figeac one of the hottest properties in Bordeaux. An incredible new winery was completed here in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2025 is a blend of 38% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2025 Figeac shows exceptional potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries and minty blackberries mingled with sweet spices, pencil lead and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, dense and deep, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish, this integrated and balanced Figeac is a serious wine, built for the long haul.  \u003cstrong\u003e97-99\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eWilliam Kelley, Wine Advocate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInky colour with violet reflections, swirling cooca bean and espresso, blood orange, baked plum, blueberry, blackberries, chalky tannins, palma violets, peony, iris flowers, slate-strewn tannic architecture, \u003cstrong\u003eintense and concentrated, great stuff \u003c\/strong\u003ewith clear ageing potential.

The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, slightly granular tannins. Darker fruit than normal, nicely structured, linear and correct, this is \u003cstrong\u003ea Figeac that veers towards the more elegant side in Saint-Émilion\u003c\/strong\u003e. If it ends up at the top of my banded score, I would not be surprised. 2033 - 2060. \u003cstrong\u003e96-98\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eNeal Martin, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/vinous.com\/\"\u003eVinous.com\u003c\/a\u003e, May 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57041881759904,"sku":"BX25-FIGE","price":308.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/1889\/8336\/files\/peter-maude-fine-wines-france-new-zealand-right-bank-chateau-figeac-saint-emilion_6e2896ef-b383-4458-a88c-16f90a8affea.jpg?v=1779314449","url":"https:\/\/www.pmfw.co.nz\/products\/2025-chateau-figeac-saint-emilion-1er-grand-cru-classe","provider":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
