Château La Tour Figeac Saint-Émilion 2019 - Grand Cru Classé

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

Delicious violet and marshmallow accents. Silky attack harmoniously prolonged on a caressing mid-palate, coated by the Merlot. The balance persists right through to the peppermint finish.

About the wine:

Not very talkative on opening, picked up in a straitjacket of fruit with complex substance, the wine has the depth of its Saint-Emilion gravel base. The elegant style owes much to the Cabernet Franc massales, which release a sensual subtlety with aeration. Aromatics are preserved in a sensitive crispness.

About the domain :

The estate, which has been certified ORGANIC since 2021, is determined to give priority to Cabernet Franc in massal selections. A clear vision, in phase with the potential of the "Saint-Émilion gravel" terroir, predestined more for charm than power. The latest vintages offer an unbridled seduction, subtly "Pomerolaise", sometimes languorous, balanced on the edge of over-ripeness, but lacking sparkle.

Terre de Vins

About the wine:

While the nose remains discreet, with aromas of cherry and stone, the mouth is round and opulent without being very massive, offering a wine in tune with its terroir, melting into softness and great drinkability, giving immediate pleasure.

Yves Beck

About the wine:

The bouquet is pleasantly fruity and subtle. It reveals inviting notes of black cherry, licorice and spice. Like the bouquet, the palate is distinguished by finesse, freshness and balance. A wine in great shape to be enjoyed at different stages of its evolution.

Vert de Vin

About the wine:

The nose is fruity, balanced and offers elegance and harmony. Notes of full-bodied blackcurrant, full-bodied blackberry and, to a lesser extent, black berry are combined with a touch of blueberry, lilac, crushed/full-bodied raspberry, as well as racy minerality, gray pepper, toasted/caramelized notes and chocolate. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced, finely tight and offers a mineral/fine acid framework. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, full-bodied/juicy blackcurrant and, more lightly, raspberry, combined with hints of dark berries, pulpy blueberry and hints of lilac, blueberry, caramelization and toastiness. Good length. Fine, well-executed tannins. A hint of cocoa and vanilla on the finish.

Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing

About the wine:

Flowers, black fruit, very fine aromatic structure with freshness and delicacy. A little ripe, a little blackcurrant. Dapper, energetic bouquet. Juicy on the palate, fresh, fruity and superbly mentholated. Delicate and fine.
