About The Wine

Chateau Cormeil-Figeac has been farmed by the Moreaud family since 1900. The estate's parcels sit on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion's prized eastern flank — the same geological foundation that produces some of the right bank's most coveted wines, including its neighbor, Pavie. This is real Saint-Émilion Grand Cru classification, not a marketing label.

The 2020 vintage was a benchmark year for right-bank Merlot — concentrated, structured, age-worthy. Decanter awarded 96 points; James Suckling 92; Wine Enthusiast 91. Drinking beautifully now with a 45-minute decant; will continue evolving for another decade-plus.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

"Intensely aromatic and floral nose, with notes of herbal, spiced pepper, and some cocoa. Bright red and blue fruits on the palate; soft, silky, integrated tannins; long, fresh finish." ~96 DWWA

Blackcurrants, mushrooms, lemon leaves, nutmeg and oyster shells on the nose. Lovely freshness and texture here, with a medium body and silky tannins. Peppery hints, too. Lengthy and elegant. Drink from 2024. ~92 James Suckling

"This wine is young, firm and still densely structured. Black fruits shot with succulent acidity and rich tannins indicate aging potential. Drink from 2026." ~91 WE
