With nearly 40 hectares of vines, it is one of the largest estates in the appellation. Owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892, the ch\u00e2teau embodies a family-oriented and sustainable vision of Bordeaux wine. Under the leadership of Thierry Manoncourt, an agricultural engineer, the estate embarked on an ambitious modernisation of its vineyard in the mid-20th century. This drive for high standards and innovation continues today under the leadership of Marie-France and Hortense Idoine Manoncourt, with Jean-Valmy Nicolas as co-manager and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Faye as managing director. In 2021, the inauguration of a new gravity-fed winery, designed for plot-by-plot vinification of extreme precision, marked a major milestone in the estate\u2019s pursuit of quality. Ch\u00e2teau Figeac lies on three large gravel ridges made up of deep gravel mixed with quartz and flint, over a clay-silt subsoil. This geological configuration, rare in Saint-\u00c9milion, gives the estate a distinct identity within the appellation. Its grape varieties are also unusual: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are planted in balanced proportions. This atypical mix shapes a style recognisable among all others, combining structure, freshness and elegance. The wines of Ch\u00e2teau Figeac seduce with their balance and aromatic depth. They reveal notes of black fruit and blackcurrant, supported by spicy nuances and a subtle mineral backbone. The tannins, precise and silky, carry a natural freshness that ensures remarkable ageing potential. The result of constant high standards and continuous technical progress, Ch\u00e2teau Figeac has achieved the rank of Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 A of Saint-\u00c9milion, confirming its status among the leading references of Bordeaux\u2019s Right Bank.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ch\u00e2teau Figeac 2012 La Propri\u00e9t\u00e9 Situ\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019ouest de l\u2019appellation Saint-\u00c9milion, en voisin direct de Ch\u00e2teau Cheval Blanc et en bordure de Pomerol, Ch\u00e2teau Figeac occupe une place singuli\u00e8re dans le paysage des grands vins de Bordeaux.
