Description
Owned by the Manoncourt family since 1892, Château-Figeac, Premier Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Emilion depuis 1955, is a unique wine estate.
During the last decade, the team at Figeac stepped up their efforts to craft consistently precise wines whose purity reflects the distinctive character of the terroir.
It is a geological exception for its appellation, with three quartz and flint gravel outcrops, several metres deep, and blue clay subsoil, forming an infinite patchwork of plots which give the wine its core identity.
As a true "green oasis" of the appellation, the natural spaces cohabit with the vines; here, 12 out of 54 hectares of the estate are fully dedicated to the preservation of biodiversity.
