SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU “1st Great Classified Growth of Saint-Emilion”
Grape Varieties:
MERLOT 30%, CABERNET SAUVIGNON 35%, CABERNET FRANC 35%
Ageing:
100% new french oak barrels for 20 months
Tasting Notes:
“Performing much better than I expected, the still fresh 2003 Figeac is not the biggest or richest wine of the vintage, but it is a vibrant St.-Emilion exhibiting a dark ruby/plum color along with a note of cedarwood and the strong Cabernet character that permeates this vineyard. Close to full maturity, this medium-bodied 2003 should drink well for another 5-7 years.”
