					<description><![CDATA[Château Figeac is one of the leading St. Emilion estates and its wine, with its high Cabernet content, has often been described as the most Médoc-like in Saint-Émilion. It is located in the north-west of the appellation with its vineyards adjoining those of Cheval Blanc. Its 40 hectares of vineyards (unusually for the right bank there is only 30% Merlot in the vineyard with 35% Cabernet Franc and - rare on the right bank - 35% Cabernet Sauvignon) lie on a deep, Médoc-like gravel topsoil ('Graves') over a flinty, iron-rich subsoil.
Since 2010 Figeac has been managed by Comte Eric d’Aramon and his wife Laure and there has been some serious improvements here recently under winemaker Frédéric Faye. Michel Rolland has been brought in to consult - but not to change the unique Figeac style. As a consequence, the wines produced now seem a little riper and more polished than before but are still fine, pure and classic.

<span dir="auto">Produced to the same high standards as the Grand Vin, Petit-Figeac is Château Figeac's second wine. Under the leadership of Thierry Manoncourt, Château Figeac has been producing a Second Wine since 1945. Since the 2012 vintage, it has taken the name of a historic plot of land, "Petit-Figeac" located in the heart of the estate.</span>

<span dir="auto">2021 is the first vintage vinified in the estate's new cellar.</span>
