The 2021 Figeac was picked from September 21 until October 19 and matured, as usual, in
100% new oak. It has a very pure, elegant bouquet, the Cabernet Sauvignon imparting subtle
pencil lead notes, blackberry and briar, almost understated at first but gaining vigor with
aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and just
the right amount of sapidity. There is unerring symmetry about this Figeac, which is extremely
focused yet unconcerned about showing off. There is lovely piquancy on the finish.
Unequivocally one the finest Right Bank wines in 2021. Frédéric Faye continues to guide
Figeac to the pinnacle of the appellation. Neal Martin
