Rated estate (2022 guide) Cité
About wine:
Not very expressive when first opened, restrained by complex fruit flavors, this wine has the depth of its Saint-Émilion gravelly base. Its elegant style owes much to the Cabernet Franc massales, which release a sensual subtlety when aerated. The aromatics are preserved in a noticeable crispness.
About the estate:
The estate, which has been certified organic since 2021, has a clear commitment to favoring Cabernet Franc in its massal selections. This vision is in line with the potential of the Saint-Émilion gravelly terroir, which is more suited to charm than power. The latest vintages offer unbridled seduction, subtly reminiscent of Pomerol, sometimes languid, balanced on the edge of over-ripeness but lacking in brilliance.

Winery rated 92/100
About the estate:
The wine is characterized by a blend of finesse and roundness combined with a powerful and balanced structure, giving it excellent aging potential and remarkable cellaring potential. The efforts made by the owners and the meticulous care taken of the vines and the cellar by a talented team have resulted in very consistent quality over the last decade, placing La Tour Figeac among the best Grands Crus Classés in the appellation.
Terre de Vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93-94/100
About wine:
While the nose remains discreet, with aromas of cherry and stone fruit, the palate is round and opulent without being overly heavy, offering a wine that is in harmony with its terroir. It is smooth and sweet, highly drinkable and ready to enjoy now.
Yves Beck
Wine rated (2021 guide) 93/100
About wine:
The bouquet is pleasantly fruity and subtle. It reveals inviting notes of black cherries, licorice, and spices. Like the bouquet, the palate is distinguished by its finesse, freshness, and balance. A wine in top form that can be enjoyed at different stages of its evolution.
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is fruity, balanced, and offers elegance and harmony. It reveals notes of fleshy blackcurrant, fleshy blackberry and, more subtly, small black fruits combined with a touch of blueberry, lilac, crushed/fleshy raspberry and hints of racy minerality, gray pepper, toast/caramelization and chocolate. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, balanced, finely structured and offers a mineral/finely acidic texture. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/juicy blackcurrant and, more subtly, raspberry, combined with hints of small black fruits, pulpy blueberry and touches of lilac, cornflower, caramelization and toast. Good length. The tannins are fine and well-integrated. A hint of cocoa and vanilla on the finish.
Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92-94/100
About wine:
Flowers, black fruits, a beautiful aromatic structure with freshness and delicacy. A hint of plum, a hint of blackcurrant. A lively, energetic bouquet. Delightfully juicy on the palate, fresh, fruity, and superbly minty. Delicate and refined.
