Bewertungen

  James Suckling
  "This is tight and chewy with intense, refined tannins that provide energy and focus. It's medium-bodied with linear energy and freshness and a lightly austere finish. Excellent energy for the vintage. Crunchy is the word. Drinkable now, but better in a few years. Try after 2028."

  "There are a little over 1,000 cases of the 2022 Petit-Figeac, which is 58% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 20% new barrels. Tasting just like a mini Figeac, it has ripe currants, leafy tobacco, spring flowers, and leather notes in a round, supple, beautifully balanced, elegant package. This classic, elegant, seamless second wine will be loved by readers."

  Decanter
  "Scented aromatics on the nose, rich and heady with lots of floral and black berry tones. Juicy and supple, this is packed full of energy and brightness giving fresh and cool blueberries and salty strawberries from the start. Clean and precise, sleek and straight with great definition all the way and a delicious mineral, crushed stone flavour and texture on the finish. Very enjoyable yet still compact with plenty of ageing potential."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "This is a beautiful, baby Figeac. Medium-bodied, elegant, and fresh, the wine remains focused on its core of sweet, silky, red fruits, tobacco, herbs, spices, and menthol from start to finish. Refined and ready to go, you can enjoy this on release or age it for more complexity. Drink from 2025-2040."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2022 Petit-Figeac is lovely, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice, pencil shavings and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety palate that's lively and long. It's a strong second wine."
