Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's flawlessly balanced, has silky, polished tannins, and a stunning sense of purity. It doesn't have the sexiness of the 2015, but it's very much in the style of the 2018 vintage with its pure, elegant, haut couture-like style. And it doesn't show a hint of its 100% new oak élevage. Give bottles 4-5 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 20-30 years. It's not the biggest or richest Saint- Emilion, yet the balance, finesse, and elegance are something to behold. I think it's going to check in behind the 2015 (and maybe the 2019) when all is said and done, but it's unquestionably one of the greatest Figeac in the past 20-30 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"background: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.75); color: white; padding: 6px; margin-right: 8px;\"\u003e97\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2018 Figeac is composed of 37% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, with a 3.7 pH and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with opening notes of freshly crushed red and black cherries, mulberries and ripe, juicy plums, followed by hints of violets, damp soil, cedar chest, crushed rocks and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied, elegantly styled palate features bags of freshness and exquisitely ripe, beautifully poised tannins to support the bright, energetic black and red fruit layers, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.

The inspiration behind this endeavor was to craft a wine reminiscent of the Chinon style—light, fresh, and approachable. Fermented whole cluster in open-top fermenters and subsequently aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels for seven months, this wine boasts a flinty aroma complemented by dusty cherry notes and a herbaceous finish. It proves to be an excellent companion to savory stews and comfort foods, showcasing its versatility as an ideal food pairing.
