2024 Figeac with -36% discount per bottle - "An absolute triumph in this vintage"

Figeac 2024 is released !
Wow, Figeac steps up and gives the market what it wants. A genuine deal not to miss right now. A must-buy during the En Primeur campaign.
A true Right Bank legend, Chateau Figeac stands apart in Saint-Émilion for its uniquely Médoc-like blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Now a Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Figeac combines Left Bank structure with Right Bank elegance, producing wines of breathtaking finesse and age-worthiness. Under the stewardship of the Manoncourt family and winemaker Frédéric Faye, Figeac has hit a golden era—cementing its place among Bordeaux’s greatest estates with a string of critically acclaimed, pitch-perfect vintages.
Figeac 2024 is a triumph of finesse and balance, offering a Cabernet-driven expression that’s effortlessly elegant. The blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc—unfolds in layers of cassis, violets, and graphite. Precision tannins frame a juicy, mineral-driven core, with a ripple of mint and floral lift on the finish. Harvested at low yields and matured in 100% new oak, this is a wine of energy, clarity, and charm. One of the vintage’s quiet greats—textured, vibrant, and unmistakably Figeac.
The critics have scored Figeac 2024 very highly including TWI who scored it 96-98 Points and had it as her wine of the vintage. Jeb Dunnuck was close behind with 95-97 Points and Decanter scored it 96-points - one of their highest of the vintage.
“To have this level of quality in a vintage like 2024 is mind-blowing, and this is one of the top handful of wines in the vintage.”
- Jeb Dunnuck
"Readers may want to consider buying a few cases of Château Figeac—my red pick of the vintage—especially in larger format bottles, which can be tricky to find after bottling."
- Lisa Perrotti-Brown's Wines

96-98 Points | The Wine Independent
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2024 Figeac opens with classic notes of cassis, kirsch, pencil shavings, and violets, leading to nuances of mint tea and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is dense with tightly wound black and red berry flavors, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing very long with lots of mineral and floral sparks. An absolute triumph in this vintage. Tasted twice with consistent score and notes.
95-97 Points | Jeb Dunnuck
Based on 33% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Figeac reveals a classic Figeac nose of ripe blue fruits, sappy tobacco, flowers, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it has a fabulous, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. To have this level of quality in a vintage like 2024 is mind-blowing, and this is one of the top handful of wines in the vintage.
96 Points | Decanter
Gorgeous fragrance on the nose, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and black cherries, floral roses and iris - you can really smell the Cabernet Franc. Lovely intensity of fruit with such freshness from the start. A burst of acidity and zingy red fruit which then transforms into a soft and creamy mid palate before turning more mineral and crisp on the finish. Really a lovely journey from start to end. Well proportioned, not a light wine. This has a touch of chew with cooling minty liquorice aspects. It’s elegant, leaning into the vintage in terms of density, but wow there is such delicacy and detail here. I love it because it’s so relaxed and so charming and full of fruit. The energy and buzz is just exceptional. I could drink this all day! 8% press wine. 3.66pH

Silky and aromatic, with velvety tannins, the 2024 Figeac is sublime. Floral and savory aromatics meld into a core of blue/purplish fruit, spice, licorice, lavender and menthol. All the elements are so well balanced. The blend is 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with 8% press wines. Not surprisingly, the 2024 is a very Cabernet-driven Figeac. Production is 60,000 bottles, or 50% of normal, because of low yields and further selection in the cellar. Tasted two times.
