Note di degustazione
The 2018 La Grave Figeac has an earthy, bell-pepper-tinged bouquet of blackberry and raspberry fruit; minty scents emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and gentle grip. Fresh red cherry and wild strawberry fruit merge into darker, cedary fruit toward the finish, which feels fresh and focused. This is a fine Saint-Émilion.

The 2018 La Grave Figeac is an attractive, polished Saint-Émilion. Crushed red berry, cinnamon and rose petal are all lifted throughout. Silky and medium in body, this impeccably balanced, harmonious Saint-Émilion has a ton to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.
The 2018 Château La Grave Figeac is impressive and has a terrific mix of elegance and richness that’s the hallmark of the vintage. Juicy berry fruits, violets, underbrush, and loads of floral characteristics all give way to a medium-bodied 2018 that has moderate tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a pretty, balanced texture. It’s not a powerhouse, but it’s a beautiful wine that will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade or more. Tasted twice.
The 2018 La Grave Figeac is silky, polished and very pretty. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, mint and rose petal are all nicely lifted. This is an especially gracious, perfumed Saint-Émilion endowed with impeccable balance and a good bit of potential as well.
