A juicy and expressive red with plum and berry character as well as hints of crushed stones and grilled citrus. Medium- to full-bodied, it has juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. 65% merlot and 35% cabernet franc. 10% whole-bunch fermentation. Very attractive now but even better in two or three years. ~94 James Suckling
Aromatic, structured, elegant, Round, supple, calm, smooth, tannins are a touch firm and present but overall really support the dark bramble fruits with cool, creamy, mint and dark chocolate touches. Feels serious, nicely chewy and plush, deep and layered with more plump, weight in the mid-palate, more stuffing around the fruit with cool but fresh blue fruits and blackcurrant giving that darker frame. Really well constructed, opulent yet it does keep a tight frame and good focus all the way through. Feels more like a Pomerol - I like it. Harvested 12 September - 23 September. Ageing 16 months; 40% new barrels, 55% one wine, 5% Amphora. Derenoncourt consultants. ~94 Decanter
Silky, fresh, supple, and creamy, the vibrancy in the fruits pairs perfectly with the sensuously textured, chocolate-tinted fruits in the mid-palate and long, medium-bodied finish. Drink from 2025-2045. ~94 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
The 2022 La Tour Figeac is elegant, polished and refined. Bright red-toned fruit, spice, blood orange and floral overtones lift from the glass. Fine, nuanced tannins frame it all in an effortless, exquisite Saint-Émilion that has so much to offer. It's all class and finesse here. ~94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Fresh cherries, plums, some nougat and orange zest, inviting bouquet. Juicy, ripe plums, discreet acidity, fine fruit sweetness, already developed, a charming food companion. ~94 Falstaff
The 2022 La Tour Figeac has a completely seductive bouquet of rose, cassis, mulberries and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless, it has a fleshy core of fruit, enveloping and layered texture and a long, perfumed and lively finish. This blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc is a real success and a wine that always rewards patience. ~93+ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
