Note di degustazione
The second wine of this great estate, the 2019 Petit-Figeac offers a vivid purple hue to go with a great nose of black raspberry and mulberry fruits supported by notes of tobacco, flowers, cedar pencil, and Asian spices. This plump, ripe, medium to full-bodied effort has a round, expansive mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and just loads of up-front charm. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. It's going to evolve for 10-15 years.

The 2019 Petit-Figeac is a fabulous second wine. Bright and effusive, the 2019 is positively stellar. This blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot exudes class. Sweet floral and spice accents lift a core of pliant fruit in this engaging Saint-Émilion. The 2019 is flat-out gorgeous.
Cloves and turmeric spices on the nose, this is full of flavour and juice. There is a precison to the spiced blackberry puree and blackcurrant fruits that runs right through the palate. A well-crafted 2nd wine that is full of life, if a little austere in its tannic structure right now. Will soften and fatten up more with another two or three years in bottle, and it's one to look out for. 30% new oak, 33hl/h yield.
