Château La Tour Figeac Saint-Émilion 2019 - Grand Cru Classé

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

Delicious notes of violet and marshmallow. A silky attack that flows harmoniously into a caressing mid-palate, enveloped by the Merlot. The balance persists through to its peppermint finish.

About the wine:

Though somewhat reserved on the palate at first, constrained by a complex fruit profile, the wine possesses the depth derived from its Saint-Émilion gravel soil. The elegance of its style owes much to the Cabernet Franc massales, which release a sensual subtlety upon aeration. The aromatics are preserved with a delicate crispness.

About the estate:

The estate, which has been certified organic since 2021, is committed to prioritizing Cabernet Franc through massal selections. This clear vision aligns with the potential of the “Graves de Saint-Émilion” terroir, which is better suited to charm than to power. The most recent vintages offer unbridled allure, with a subtle “Pomerol-like” character—sometimes languid—walking a fine line between ripeness and overripeness, yet lacking a certain sparkle.

About the wine:

While the nose remains subtle, with aromas of cherry and stone fruit, the palate—round and opulent without being overly heavy—offers a wine that is true to its terroir; it is smooth and mellow, highly drinkable, and a pleasure to enjoy right now.

The bouquet is pleasantly fruity and subtle. It reveals inviting notes of black cherries, licorice, and spices. Like the bouquet, the palate stands out for its finesse, freshness, and balance. This is a wine in its prime that can be enjoyed at various stages of its development.

Vert de Vin

About the wine:

The nose is fruity and balanced, offering elegance and harmony. It features notes of juicy blackcurrant, plump blackberry, and, to a lesser extent, dark berries, combined with hints of blueberry, lilac, crushed/plump raspberry, as well as hints of refined minerality, gray pepper, toasted/caramelized notes, and chocolate. On the palate, it is fruity, fresh, mineral, balanced, and finely structured, with a mineral and subtly tart backbone. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/juicy blackcurrant, and, to a lesser extent, raspberry, combined with hints of small black berries, pulpy blueberry, as well as hints of lilac, blueberry, caramelization, and toasty notes. Good length. The tannins are fine and well-integrated. A hint of cocoa and vanilla lingers on the finish.

Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing

About the wine:

Flowers, dark fruits, a beautifully structured aroma that is fresh and delicate. A hint of ripe fruit, a hint of blackcurrant. A lively, energetic bouquet. On the palate, it’s wonderfully juicy, fresh, fruity, and superbly minty. Delicate and refined.
