Figeac 2024

Figeac with a capital "A"
2024 is the 3rd vintage since Château Figeac was classified as a 1er Grand cru Classé A.
This classification acknowledges the sustained work, passion and persistence of an entire team to promote this legendary vineyard to its rightful place at the uppermost echelons. And to achieve this, the investment in time and money for the Manoncourt family, their collaborators and Managing Director Frédéric Faye, has known no bounds; the new winery, inaugurated in spring 2021, is the perfect illustration.
It is a geological exception for its appellation, with three quartz and flint gravel outcrops, several metres deep, and blue clay subsoil, forming an infinite patchwork of plots which give the wine its core identity.
The 2024 vintage
The 2024 vintage will be remembered as one marked by record rainfall and challenging weather conditions. However, the exceptional terroir of Figeac, characterized by soils with excellent drainage properties and a natural topography conducive to efficient water runoff, helped mitigate the impact of these excessive rains. These geological advantages were further reinforced by
strategic decisions and meticulous soil maintenance, which effectively limited water saturation and preserved the vines.
The 2024 vintage epitomizes Château-Figeac’s adaptability and unwavering pursuit of excellence in the face of climatic adversity. Far from being merely a technical success, this elegant and profound wine serves as a testament to the expertise, passion, and dedication that drive our team.
