2022 Chateau Figeac – A Landmark Vintage from Saint-Émilion's Premier Grand Cru Classé A

The 2022 Chateau Figeac marks a new chapter for one of the Right Bank’s most historic and esteemed estates, newly promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A status. Situated on the edge of the Pomerol border, Figeac has long been known for its distinctive terroir and high proportion of Cabernet in a Merlot-dominated region. This vintage cements Figeac’s standing as a true benchmark for age-worthy, refined Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Figeac is both intense and composed, offering a refined bouquet of blackcurrant, graphite, and violet, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and mocha. The palate is structured yet lifted, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-laced finish. A harmonious blend of precision and depth, it promises decades of evolution in the cellar.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Figeac’s 2022 vintage is composed of approximately 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Merlot, sourced from the estate’s distinctive gravel soils over blue clay and iron-rich subsoils. Vinification was carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by aging in 100% new French oak barrels for 18–20 months. The technical team, led by Frédéric Faye, continues to push quality higher each year with precise selections and gentle extraction.

Investment & Collectibility

Now recognized as one of the most collectible wines on the Right Bank, Figeac has seen significant critical and market appreciation. The 2022 vintage, from a growing season marked by heat and concentration, joins the ranks of 2016 and 2019 as one of the château’s finest modern efforts. Perfect for your collection and a highlight among Bordeaux wines.

Vintage Insights

The 2022 growing season in Bordeaux was hot and dry, yet Figeac’s gravel-heavy soils allowed for deep root penetration and water retention. Despite the intense conditions, the estate achieved remarkable balance, producing a wine of concentration without excess. Harvest was carried out in optimal conditions, resulting in superbly ripe fruit with fresh structure.

(Rating 96 - 98+) A beautiful wine that, shockingly, reminds me of the 2016, the 2022 Château Figeac checks in as 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon that was harvested from the 1st of September to the 25th. Director Frédéric Faye commented that verasion took longer than usual, and they had to do a slight green harvest to get uniform ripeness. The results are stunning. The wine has a vivid purple hue as well as remarkable freshness and purity in its black and blue fruits, which are followed by notes of wild herbs, chocolate, graphite, spring flowers, and a touch of classic Cabernet Sauvignon graphite. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a silky, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This classic, ultra-precise Figeac is going to warrant a solid decade of bottle age and be very long-lived given its purity and balance. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: May 2023.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 98 - 100) A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cassis mingled with notions of iris, forest floor, cigar wrapper and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and beautifully refined tannins. Serious yet civilized, it's the quintessential Figeac, testament to the late Thierry Manoncourt's vision to plant such a large proportion of Cabernet, and on drought-resistant rootstocks. Such is the inherent complexity of Figeac's terroirs that harvest took place sub-block by sub-block between September 1st and 25th. Congratulations are in order for the Manoncourt family, director Frédéric Faye, consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos and all their team. Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: April 2023.

(Rating 96 - 99) The 2022 Figeac is a magnificent, super-classic Figeac, as odd as that might sound in this freakish vintage. A wine of sublime delicacy and nuance, the 2022 possesses tremendous aromatic presence, finely sculpted fruit and phenomenal persistence. I especially admire the wine's freshness, energy and clean, mineral finish. The 2022 is a towering Figeac, a wine that brilliantly showcases the unique qualities of this site. Figeac is a rare Right Bank estate with gravel and blue clay soils that are not often found here, planted approximately with equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
