Vinous – 94

The 2012 Figeac is really beginning to come into its own and entering a sweet spot. This is the best I’ve had. Now more open on the nose, it has a wonderful bouquet with black fruit, cedar and blood orange, perhaps still with a patina of new oak to be fully assimilated. The palate is very pure and well-defined, linear and "strict" in a Medoc manner, whereas previous bottles have more of a peacock’s tail. This just makes it more enticing. Tasted at the private room at Noble Rot Soho. [Neal Martin, 26/12/2023]

Tasted blind. Purplish crimson. The deepest colour? Cool, calm and collected on the nose. Lots of vivacity and contained, coiled-spring energy. Dry finish. Not rich but refined. Luscious texture. Ch Figeac? (JR) [31/05/2022]

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Figeac put in a marvelous showing under strict blind conditions and it has clearly blossomed in bottle. It has an immediately engaging bouquet with vivid blackberry and raspberry fruit, wonderful mineralite and fine delineation. This is very composed, with a touch of graphite that almost takes you towards Pauillac rather than Saint Emilion. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, harmonious and lively with commendable precision towards the finish. This is a sophisticated and well-crafted Figeac that appears to be on an upward trajectory. Tasted January 2016. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
