Petit Figeac Saint Emilion 2020 (750ml)
Joyful and expressive, the 2020 Petit-Figeac reveals vibrant aromas of ripe strawberries, redcurrants and raspberries, intertwined with hints of leafy herbs and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is silky and pure, with lively acidity giving precision and freshness to the bright red fruit. Chalky tannins frame the core, while subtle oak notes add polish without distraction. Composed of 71% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a beautifully crafted second wine that captures the essence of Figeac’s elegance and charm, while being ready to enjoy earlier.

I loved the 2020 Petit-Figeac, the second wine from Château Figeac. Based on 71% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 14-15 months in 40% new oak, it offers up a plump, floral, medium to full-bodied style displaying the vintage's purity and freshness. Offering plenty of ripe red and black fruits, as well as leafy herbs and flowers, this forward, sexy, seamless 2020 is perfect for drinking over the coming 10-12 years or more.

Gorgeous aromatic complexity on the nose, floral and bramble fruits. Juicy and so appealing on the palate, the tannins are chalky and fruity at the same time with a beautiful density and liveliness. Lovely precision on the mid-palate, fruit forward, open, expressive and vibrant with so much freshness shining out of the glass. A joyful expression with mouthwateringly pure strawberry, redcurrant, raspberry and red cherry given structure and frame by touches of oak. I love the lick of slate on the finish with the minerality putting this squarely in St-Emilion. A lovely introduction to Figeac with its own personality. You can drink this now, but has potential to age. Keep a bottle to open when anyone comes over, this will impress!
