CHÂTEAU FIGEAC 2009

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé B

This is one of the few Right Bank wines whereby the terroir is more expressive than the growing season, so it will appeal to those that appreciate the style of Figeac, though not necessarily to those that prefer the voluptuousness of the 2009s. Additionally, comparing it directly to the 2010, I suspect that it might not have quite as much longevity as the succeeding vintage. That said, this is still a knockout Saint Emilion that is going to bestow a lot of drinking pleasure over the years. Tasted July 2016. WA 94

3 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $846
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
