(93+ points) The 2019 La Grave-Figeac sports a deep garnet-purple color and fragrant notions of warm black and red cherries, mulberries and stewed plums with hints of woodsmoke, baking spices and lavender. The medium-bodied palate has a fine backbone of grainy, approachable tannins and invigorating freshness supporting the tightly wound, mineral-laced fruit, finishing with a lively lift. Impressive showing! Wine Advocate
A confidential gem in Saint-Emilion, Château La Grave Figeac has it all: a dream location and a small surface area, an extremely racy character thanks to its blend, a family management and a certified organic culture for 10 years...
Indeed, the vineyards of La Grave Figeac cover barely 6.5 hectares, half of which is enclosed in the vineyard of the legendary Château Cheval Blanc - its address is «1, Cheval Blanc Ouest» - while the other two immediate neighbors are Château Figeac and Château L’Evangile. At the helm is the Clauzel family, owners of the estate for 30 years, now represented by Laurent and his wife Caroline.
Alongside the Merlot, the Cabernet Franc grapes are given pride of place (35%), to bring additional structure and finesse to the wines. These wines also benefit from the deep roots of the vines (45 years old), which give them as much sap as freshness. Finally, they shine with their singular fruit, both pure and vibrant. Not to mention a very attractive price positioning for a terroir of this level
