Figeac has been on my radar for some time now. News of Michel Rolland replacing the existing team at the estate in early 2013 created ripples amongst fans. Revered for its old-school styling, I’m glad to have had the chance to taste it, courtesy Burgnut. Incredibly fresh, the ’95 yields classic notes of black currant, cassis, cigar box, and cedar. Medium-bodied and stylish, with fine tannins and elegant structure. The sort of wine one drinks by the fireside, slowly, in an over-stuffled leather chair.
