Château La Tour Figeac 2016, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
£61.99
Château La Tour Figeac, a prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate, is known for producing wines that beautifully express the unique terroir of the region. Situated on the border of Pomerol, the estate benefits from both clay and sandy soils, which contribute to the complexity and elegance of its wines. The 2016 vintage is a standout, reflecting the ideal growing conditions of the year, which resulted in a wine of exceptional depth and balance. This Merlot-dominant blend, complemented by Cabernet Franc, showcases the richness and refinement that define top Saint-Émilion wines. The 2016 vintage opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of violet, underpinned by subtle notes of mocha and sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins, offering layers of juicy black fruit, licorice, and a touch of minerality. The wine’s long, smooth finish is marked by its perfect balance between power and elegance. Château La Tour Figeac 2016 is a versatile partner for a variety of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with roast lamb, beef fillet, or game, and is equally delightful with truffle-infused dishes or a mature cheese selection. While it can be enjoyed now, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade.
