Chateau Figeac 2000
St. Emilion
owc
Bottle (12)

Acquired in the early-mid 90s through reputable channels and stored behind a secret panel, carved beneath the foundation of a magnificent Bel-Air home, with redundant temperature and humidity control.

“The 2000 Figeac is similar to the bottle tasted at the château just three months earlier. Still a tad rustic on the nose with singed leather and earthenware infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, quite Left Bank in style, a little rough in texture with a slightly herbaceous finish.” (90 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Oct. 2021)

"Figeac has become a more consistent wine over the last few years. A profound effort, the surprisingly full-bodied 2000 Figeac has an opaque purple color accompanied by a terrific bouquet of camphor, graphite, black currants, licorice, and smoked herbs. With well-balanced, powerful tannin, concentration, and pinpoint precision, finesse, and purity, this expressive as well as textured effort will drink well between 2004-2018. When Figeac hits on all cylinders, one can understand why some tasters believe it is as complex as Cheval Blanc. This is undeniably the estate's finest effort since 1996." (93 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, April 2003)
