2019 Chateau La Tour Figeac Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blend

"This organic estate has made a lush, darkly tannic wine. Its broad fruit is textured with generous tannins that are bolstered by acidity. It has great potential for the cellar."

"Lots of ripe black cherries, mulberries, Christmas spice, incense, and dried flower notes emerge from the 2019 Château La Tour Figeac, a classy, medium to full-bodied Saint-Emilion with supple, finely polished tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. This wonderful 2019 already offers loads of pleasure and will keep for 15-20 years, easily."

"Aromas of currants, blackberries, bark, toasted oak, walnut husk and chocolate orange. Medium-to full-bodied with a rich, flavorful and layered palate. Ripe, well-integrated tannins. Delicious finish. Merlot and cabernet franc."

"A softly sweet and savoury nose. The texture here is great, smooth and satisfying. This is a dark, almost sticky style with sweet liquorice and chewy blackcurrants giving lift by a vein of minty freshness. Firm and muscular - there is clear power here, but it is also quite suave with high acidity and generous fruit. Spiced finish with some liquorice freshness. Appealing."

"The 2019 La Tour Figeac is generous and charming, bursting with aromas of blueberry preserve, sweet spices, dark chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and a sweet core of fruit, it will offer a broad drinking window. It's produced from gravely soils and contains an appreciable percentage of very old vine Cabernet Franc."

-92 Points, Wine Advocate 

"The 2019 La Tour Figeac has a floral and expressive bouquet with cedar and tobacco-infused black fruit, gaining clarity with aeration, the oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is ripe and nicely structured, showy in style, and judiciously spiced. A mouth filling concentrated finish will need time in bottle. There's a lot of wine here and it should repay cellaring. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting."
