Description

chevron-down

Petit-Figeac is always made exclusively from grapes harvested at Château-Figeac. Under the guidance of Frédéric Faye, this wine is produced with the same dedication and standards as the Grand Vin. It is not a wine from a single plot, but the result of a special selection, with a different blend each year.

The nose is refined, elegant, and complex, with delightful aromas of licorice and blackcurrant, as well as floral nuances of red roses and peonies. Furthermore, the wine reveals mineral notes of earth and roots, with hints of Virginia tobacco. On the palate, the wine begins remarkably straightforward, then becomes full-bodied with controlled power and well-balanced extraction mid-palate. The delicious and flavorful finish is supported by polished and precise tannins. Pastry, juicy, and fruity notes (blue and black fruits) combine with cedar aromas, adding finesse and complexity.

FYI : The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount. You'll see the potential discount immediately if you choose Pickup at Checkout. We're located right next to the Rijksweg with ample parking. Click here for the address.

Wine production of Château Figeac

Château Figeac is known for its traditional winemaking practices, which include hand-harvesting the grapes and using a combination of stainless steel and wooden fermentation vats.
