Jane Anson: 95 Punkte

"Vivid plum and ruby colour, clear ripe raspberry and damson fruits, sappy quality, fine tannins. The Cabernet Franc slowly unfurls its floral waves, violets and iris, with white flowers, savoury black fruits, good energy and length. Figeac has shown over and over again that it can deliver wines that succeed and delight in many different kinds of vintage conditions, and it is an estate to have confidence in. 31hl/ha yield, 100% new oak, 8% press, 3.66pH. 31hl/ha yield. They deleafed on both sides for the first time since technical director Romain Jean-Pierre arrived 13 years ago. Harvest September 20 to October 5." (04/2025)


Falstaff: 96 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Gewürznelken, reife Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis und Pflaumen, sehr einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, dunkle Beerenfrucht, feine, reife Tannine, mineralisch und frisch zugleich, bereits harmonisch, gut entwickelt, zeigt Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial, verführerischer Stil." - Peter Moser (04/2025)


Vinum: 98 Punkte 

"Mittelkräftiges Rubinrot, strahlender Cabernet-Duft, schwarze Johannisbeere, reife Himbeeren, florale Noten, die an Veilchen erinnern, darüber Mokka; am Gaumen gradlinig, dicht, konzentriert, dabei federleicht schwebend, knackige Frucht, sensationelle Tanninqualität, perfekt verpackte Säure; im Abgang von grandioser Länge, hallt auf dunkle und rote Beeren nach. Ein Archetyp eines Figeac, energiegeladen und voller Finesse. Spielt in diesem Jahr zusammen mit wenigen Weinen in einer eigenen Liga." (04/2025)


Yves Beck: 97-99 Punkte

"Ein Jahrgang voller Herausforderungen. Sehr dünne Schalen und schwarze Kerne, also eine schöne Reife dank eines langen Vegetationszyklus. Viel Frische und Frucht in diesem präzisen und strahlenden Bouquet. Letzteres unterstreicht das Bouquet nur noch mehr; es ist einladend, dicht, frisch und fruchtig. Angenehme Noten von roten Beeren (Himbeeren, Erdbeeren), Pfingstrosen, ein wenig reifes Gemüse bzw. Pfefferminze und eine würzige Note. Am Gaumen verleiht der Auftakt eine subtil charmante Textur, der kräftige, präzise, leicht straffe Tannine folgen. Sie garantieren Frische, Struktur und Genuss. Gemeinsam mit der Säurestruktur bilden sie Temperament, Vitalität und einen langanhaltenden Abgang. Ein Figeac, der sich allmählich entwickelt, aber von Anfang an seine Größe zeigt, ohne den geringsten Zweifel, so relevant und definiert er ist. Wenn Finesse und Glanz mit Kraft und Tiefe kombiniert werden können, ist der Begriff eines außergewöhnlichen Jahrgangs offensichtlich. Ein dichter, kräftiger, geradliniger, saftiger und langanhaltender Wein. Ich denke, es gibt so viele Adjektive wie Pluspunkte, also einen TGV, der nicht unbedingt schnell, aber weit fahren wird!"

The Drinks Business: 95-97+ Punkte 

"Perhaps the most beautiful nose of the entire en primeur campaign at this stage. Gloriously elegant and enticing. So naturally expressive without any need for aeration. Gently sweet-scented with a note of saffron and walnut alongside the black cherries, damson and blueberry fruit profile. Violet and peony, wisteria and lily. With aeration this becomes a little fresher with the proportion of berry fruits seeming to rise as the cherries and fruits of the forest recede just a little. That gives a hint as to the tension and the source of the tension in the wine. The oak is present and there is a subtle hint of vanilla but it serves to support the gentle florality – wisteria and lily of the valley above all. With aeration, too, more and more cedar. On the palate, assorted dark berries but also, less present on the aromatics, raspberry, loganberry and strawberry. Ample in its frame, spherical and pushing at the cheeks, yet always retaining the purity and the precise crystallinity that sets this apart as really one of the wines of the vintage. The oak is still integrating but this is just a question of time." - Colin Hay (04/2025)


Decanter: 96 Punkte 

"Gorgeous fragrance on the nose, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and black cherries, floral roses and iris - you can really smell the Cabernet Franc. Lovely intensity of fruit with such freshness from the start. A burst of acidity and zingy red fruit which then transforms into a soft and creamy mid palate before turning more mineral and crisp on the finish. Really a lovely journey from start to end. Well proportioned, not a light wine. This has a touch of chew with cooling minty liquorice aspects. It’s elegant, leaning into the vintage in terms of density, but wow there is such delicacy and detail here. I love it because it’s so relaxed and so charming and full of fruit. The energy and buzz is just exceptional. I could drink this all day! 8% press wine. 3.66pH" - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)

Silky and aromatic, with velvety tannins, the 2024 Figeac is sublime. Floral and savory aromatics meld into a core of blue/purplish fruit, spice, licorice, lavender and menthol. All the elements are so well balanced. The blend is 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with 8% press wines. Not surprisingly, the 2024 is a very Cabernet-driven Figeac. Production is 60,000 bottles, or 50% of normal, because of low yields and further selection in the cellar. Tasted two times.

This is very refined with lovely tannins and freshness. Medium-bodied, it has a savory, juicy undertone and a satisfying finish. Some chocolate. A blend of 39% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 28% cabernet franc. (04/2025)

Based on 33% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Figeac reveals a classic Figeac nose of ripe blue fruits, sappy tobacco, flowers, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it has a fabulous, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. To have this level of quality in a vintage like 2024 is mind-blowing, and this is one of the top handful of wines in the vintage. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2024 Figeac opens with classic notes of cassis, kirsch, pencil shavings, and violets, leading to nuances of mint tea and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is dense with tightly wound black and red berry flavors, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing very long with lots of mineral and floral sparks. An absolute triumph in this vintage. Tasted twice with consistent score and notes. (05/2025)

93-95 POINTS

The 2024 Figeac is a lovely classic, wafting from the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, minty berries, licorice and pencil shavings, deftly framed by new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with good depth at the core, powdery tannins and a suave, seamless profile, it's a blend of 33% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon that attained 12.7% alcohol. Figeac was one of those estates that took the risk of waiting to harvest, rejecting just over 20% of the crop in the sorting process to produce a compelling wine despite the challenging conditions.
