CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Production was down by half this yeara only producing 55,000 bottles. Made from 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Figeac gives up expressive notes of black cherries, plum preserves, black raspberries and kirsch, giving way to hints of dried leaves, cinnamon toast and warm cassis plus a waft of lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate has wonderful vibrancy with a refreshing line cutting through the crunchy black fruits and a firm, finely grained frame, finishing long and spicy.

Tasted blind. Very juicy and luscious. Then a bit stringy and tart. Not much fun at this stage. Light and simple. But it grew in the glass to be more intriguingly savoury. (JR)
