Before our tour begins, in the chateau's main courtyard, it is useful to place Chateau Figeac within the context of its appellation.
The Saint-Emilion appellation covers 5,400 hectares, and includes more than 1,200 estates.
There are various soil types. The 4 main ones are:
Steep limestone slopes located near the town of Saint-Emilion (2,400 hectares), which are responsible for much of the appellation's reputation. This is where 11 of the 13 Premiers Grands Crus Classés are located.
Alluvial sand on the large plain along the banks of the Dordogne. There are nearly 2,000 hectares here as well.
The 3rd large sub-division, covering 1,200 hectares, is composed of a plateau located west of the town, and which extends as far as the village of Pomerol. It consists primarily of aeolian sand has extraordinary filtering powers, and is conducive to producing fine wines.
– Description from
JelaDragoljevic
Classic style French red, full of flavour, silky smooth, medium tannins. Everything that's good about red wine. Expensive but worth it. (note to self - this was the wine we had in Norway)

I just posted almost all of my notes on Bordeaux 2012 on my ... smooth yet tannic, while the Chateau Figeac 2005 is just gorgeous! How can anyone give this wine less than 90 points is beyond me. A very fine tannic grain, with sheer elegance. We also enjoyed a truly excellent Chateau Leoville Barton 1999, which I have always enjoyed and it ... Read More

Sadly I did Not. I had a busy weekend that involved wine, but sadly that was mostly inventorying, packing, and moving wine around the state of NY! Got about a dozen cases moved closer to home, so now I'm pretty well set for the next few months of drinking! Next bottle up looks like it might very well be 1987 Dunn Napa Valley. Funny how Dunn was ... Read More

If I were anywhere near New York on the 29th I'd be going to this event. Great wine, interesting winemakers, and lots of old posters, art nouveau or otherwise. Why is it I'd rather have one of them on my wall then a Flash banner ad from the Web?Price seems like more than a bargain, and the money goes to charity, too.... ... Here's your chance ... Read More
