Château La Tour Figeac is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé located in exception terroir. The vineyards used to be part of the massive Figeac property until 1879 when what became La Tour Figeac was sold to the Corbière family. Today the 15 hectare estate is run by Christine Derenoncourt and neighbors Château Figeac to the south, Château Cheval Blanc to the east and the appellation of Pomerol to its north and west. The vines are planted with 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc on a blend of gravel and sandy-clay above a clay subsoil. Since 1997, the vineyards are 100% Biodynamic.
The wines of Château La Tour Figeac are fermented using whole berries in a combination of stainless steel and open top, large oak tanks for 30 days, then aged in 50% new French oak barrels for an average of 18 months. Elegant and aromatically pure, La Tour Figeac displays dark floral notes with wonderful intensity of ripe, dark red fruits and silky tannins with lots of finesse and power on the finish.
