1998 95p

Tasted in March 2017. This vintage at Figeac has a great reputation among wine-freaks and it was confirmed with aplomb when tasted in 2017. Sensual, classy, fruity and aromatic nose of cherries and raspberries, as sensual on the palate, deep, sophisticated and long. Really great effort for this property!

1975 94p

Tasted in February 2020. This property has usually 66% Cabernet in the blend with half Franc and half Sauvignon. Remaining 34% is Merlot. Impressive length, complexity and structure. Sophisticated stuff. In full bloom right now.
