Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2000

96
/100

Château Figeac 2000 kombinerer husets klare, cabernet-accentuerede signatur med modenheden fra en stor, klassisk Bordeaux-årgang. 2000 gav perfekt modne druer og høj aromatisk koncentration: solbær, blomme, grafit og kølige urter. Silkeagtig, struktureret og præcis i munden med modne tanniner og livlig, rent integreret syre. Lang, tobakskrydret og fokuseret - en Figeac uden dikkedarer fra et exceptionelt år, som er i fuld balance i dag.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Dense ruby in colour, slight bricking around the edges. Beautifully supple tannins, hints of black truffle, cocoa dusting. Signature Figeac finesse. Bright and vivid, feels like the slow-moving 2000 is now beginning to rival the legendary 2001 Figeac, and reaching that point where you can't decide if you want to slow down and savour every sip or rev up and drink it down in a few gulps. From double magnum. 100% new oak.

Parker om: Chateau Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Very impressive when sampled at the UGC after bottling. Then at Wine Magazine blind tasting: deep ruby colour. Green pepper, blackberry, minerals and quite noticeable wood. Very smooth entry, very well-integrated with a dense core of black fruit and tobacco. Good grip, very tannic with a long, blackberry finish. The Figeac 2000 is a long-term Saint Emilion. Excellent – a vast improvement upon recent vintages.

Suckling om: Chateau Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Spices, herbs, plums, and meat on the nose. Full and round, with soft tannins and a beautiful finish. Chocolate and fruit everywhere. Give this another two or three years. Pull the cork in 2013.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Figeac 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2000 Château Figeac is now fully mature and at point, yet has plenty of life ahead, showing almost no signs of bricking in color at the edge. It's an incredibly complex, nuanced example of Figeac that shines more for its complexity than power. Beautiful currants, green tobacco, cedar, and lead pencil aromatics give way to a medium-bodied Saint-Emilion with a wonderful core of sweet fruit, silky, polished tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. Building beautifully with time in the glass, it's a complex, nuanced, gorgeous Figeac to enjoy any time over the coming two decades. As is common with this wine, it has a Left Bank vibe and I'd probably guess this was a top Saint-Julien in a blind tasting.

Chateau Figeac

Chateau Figeac er en smuk landejendom på grusplateauet i Saint Emilion med 40 hektar vinmarker skråt over for Cheval Blanc. Nærheden til Cheval Blanc afspejles også i vinen - især i gode år. Den tidligere ejer Thierry Manoncourt, som desværre gik bort i 2010, mente endda, at hans vin var den fineste...
