Chateau Figeac is a pretty large Premier Grand Cru Classe from St-Emilion. They hold a total of 98.8 acres on the gravel plateau of St Emilion, planted to 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 30% Merlot, and the 2012 cuvee is close to this with 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Just across the street from the fabulous Cheval Blanc, but generally at a much better price, it has a great location for producing fantastic wines. With average vine age of 40 years and the oldest at 100 years, the estate has an even older claim to fame as it was the site of a 2nd century Roman villa. K&L's barrel tasting notes: * Red fruit flavors here—much different than most Right Bankers. Tannins at back end. I like it for the long run. (Clyde Beffa Jr.)
