  • Goedhuis, April 2011, Score: 92-95

    Amongst some hugely disappointing St Emilion wines at the Union des Grands Cru tasting, it was a huge relief to taste this finely balanced property. This has extremely good intensity of fruit, with gently firm tannins and a long ripe fruit finish. A very appealing style. DR

  • Neal Martin, April 2011, Score: ?

    The Figeac '10 has a tightly coiled nose with good definition: dark berried fruit, earthy,sandalwood and smoke, though it would benefit from more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins on the entry, good grip but is missing some fruité in the mid-palate with a dry, slightly astringent finish. Not the fireworks of the 2009s but then again, Figeac always is a problem child in its youth.

  • James Suckling, April 2011, Score: 94-95

    This is very structured, with a solid core of plums, chocolate and bright acidity. Firm and silky tannins and a long, long finish. A powerful and structured young wine.

  • Decanter, April 2011, Score: 18.5

    This is a Figeac with plenty of substance but still elegant and fresh in style. Dense, lively, expressive fruit. Firm but fine tannins. Great length. Drink 2020-2040.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2011, Score: 16.5++

    Very dark crimson. Medium concentration. High-toned minerality on the nose. Lots of appetising sap and savour. Loose and round and easy peasy. Attractive in that it's not overdone; possibly a chancemissed in that it's just slightly slack. Or possibly it's Figeac..! Ah. That last phrase waswritten when I tasted this blind and it's true that this potentially great wine rarely shows well en primeur. Hence the hopeful double plus after the score. Though its gravel soils will not have done the wine any favours in this exceptionally dry vintage. Drink 2016-2026

  • Wine Spectator, April 2011, Score: 93-96

    Exotic fig, boysenberry and blueberry preserves are married to polished tobacco and spice notes in this dense red, which has lots in reserve but is very sleek through the finish for now. It feels as if this will fill out considerably with more élevage. -J.M.

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
