This wine is a red full-bodied bordeaux.  A January 1, 2015 review from Celler Tracker states:  "This is the moment for this wine, very strong showing at a pan-Bordeaux tasting; Strong cherry color with some bricking at the edges; tannins are fully integrated now. Red currant up front and a 45-60 second finish with still good acidity to balance the finish. Some thought it could go longer, but I think it's not worth the risk when it is so great at 20 years."

Chateau-Figeac is a wine estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux. It is the largest estate in Saint-Émilion,[1] with 40 hectares (99 acres) of vineyards. Due to its soil, which is dominated by gravel, it is planted in grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (35%), Cabernet Franc (35%), and Merlot (30%).[1] Most other Saint-Émilion wines are dominated by Merlot, and Figeac therefore bears a certain semblance to the wines of Médoc and Graves despite being situated on Bordeaux's "right bank". The wine, which is one of the most famous of Saint-Émilion, is aged in 100% new oak barrels.

Château Figeac wine carries the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé (Class B) in the official Classification of Saint-Émilion wine.
