February 2018 (Vintage 2015)

This is very perfumed and beautiful with sandalwood, dark berries and light nutmeg aromas. Full-bodied, yet refined and very balanced with berry and hazelnut undertones. Focused and bright. Drink in 2020.

Roger Voss, (Vintage 2015)

This wine is ripe and structured. With the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), typical of Figeac, the black-currant fruit and pure, clean acidity shine through. As a second wine, it is soft, the tannins likely to develop quickly. Drink from 2022.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, February 2018 (Vintage 2015)

Composed of 32% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Petit Figeac reveals notes of warm cherries, red currant jelly, aniseed and forest floor with touches of wild blueberries and blackberries. Medium-bodied, very finely crafted, elegant and refreshing, it fills the mouth with open-knit red and black fruits, finishing with a velvety texture paving the way.

March 2018 (Vintage 2015)

This delivers a delicious bolt of cassis, along with accents of cherry and plum preserves, backed by brambly grip and a roasted apple wood note. Still on the accessible side, and should be a solid drink while the big boys mature. Best from 2019 through 2027. 3,333 cases made

(Vintage 2015)

35% of the crop; they have to make a second wine because they have quite a lot of young vines. 32% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yield 41 hl/ha. Picked 21 September – 15 October (for very late Cabernet Franc)! 30% new oak and shorter élevage.
Good drive and raciness on the nose. Real sinew and savour. Polished tannins but good Figeac character. A success! Superior ink. GV?
