This historic estate borders two of the region’s titans in châteaux Figeac and Cheval Blanc. Sourced from vines more than 35 years old on average, growing on gravel and sand on a clay substratum, the 2015 (a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc) spent roughly a month in stainless steel tanks and wooden vats before ageing for 18 months in oak barrels, half of them new. Gareth Birchley: Dark fruit and some shoe polish. A lovely silky texture and wonderful fruit concentration and balance. Just beautiful. Vincenzo Arnese: Elegant, rich and well balanced, with some development and a pleasing texture. Tannins and acidity are well integrated. Arthur Coggill: Really savoury: roasted earth and meat, red peppers and coffee. Red plums and damsons. Red fruit-focused palate, with bright acidity carrying the fruit. Juicy, with a saline, toasty finish.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

The beautiful sub-region of Saint Emilion in France's legendary Bordeaux region is regarded as the home of many of the world's finest red wines. The blending techniques employed in Saint Emilion have been passed down for generations, and aim to express the very finest flavors of the grape varietals used, most commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The climatic conditions in Saint Emilion are perfect for growing many of the Bordeaux grapes, and high yields of exceptional quality are commonplace. Fed by the mighty Gironde river and benefiting from superb clay and gravel based soils, Saint Emilion produces millions of bottles of high quality blended and unblended red wines each year, and continues to be a firm favorite of wine experts and the general public alike.

This estate, run on biodynamic principles, has made a rich wine with density and intense, pure black-currant fruits. It has a firm backbone of tannins along with perfumed minerality from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. Drink this wine from 2024.

Gorgeous aromas of blueberries and spices with some white pepper and chocolate. Full body, round and integrated tannins and a flavorful finish. Juicy and intense. Salty thread. Drink now or hold. (Suckling)

Made with guidance from Stéphane Derenoncourt and from a great terroir near the Saint-Emilion/Pomerol border, the 2015 Château La Tour Figeac is a classic effort that offers lots of ripe red and black fruits, tobacco, damp earth and truffle aromas and flavors. It's ripe, polished and balanced, with sweet tannin, integrated acidity, and a clean, classy feel, all of which make it a joy to drink already. Nevertheless, it should be at its best from 2020-2032. Tasted twice.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2015 La Tour Figeac offers delicate notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and stewed plums with hints of rosehip tea, tobacco leaf, and incense. The full-bodied palate is generously fruited and intense with firm, rounded tannins and lovely freshness, finishing spicy.

Offers a dense, fleshy feel, with fig and boysenberry compote notes rumbling along, inlaid with graphite and tar accents. Defined and energetic, with notes of anise and ganache adding range through the finish. Tilts toward power rather than finesse in the end. Best from 2022 through 2035. 4,200 cases made.

The 2015 La Tour Figeac has a pleasant red cherry, strawberry and cranberry nose, quite pure and floral in style with well integrated oak. The palate offers more black than red fruit laced with tobacco and cedar, quite focused and well defined with an edgy finish that demonstrates more nervosité than its peers. Good potential. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
Blueberry, plum, praline, dark=chocolate and cedar aromas. Dried lavender, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, sleek and caressing tannins. Polished, seamless…
