98-100 / 100 Parker Punkte Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Figeac 2016 im April 2017: The 2016 Figeac is a blend of 36% Merlot. 26% Cabernet Franc and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon. picked from 23 September until 20 October at 49 hectoliters per hectare with 13.9% alcohol. The acidity is 3.67 pH. and it matured in 100% new oak (focused on five cooperages). This is a property that opened a new chapter in 2013. when Michel Rolland's services as a master blender have been called upon and engendered far greater harmony between the three grape varieties. now all singing from the same hymn sheet. It has a crisp blackberry nose. a little closed at first. opening nicely in the glass and offering raspberry coulis. pencil box and subtle mint aromas—classic Figeac in many ways. The palate is extraordinarily well balanced with a fine lattice of tannin sculpted to perfection. There is a slight edginess to this Figeac that I adore. the Cabernets very expressive. more so than the 2015. with graphite infusing every pore of the black fruit. This Figeac has an outstanding structure and a saline finish that beckons you back for another sip. The 2015 Figeac was stunning and the 2016 no less. Tasted on four separate occasions. and in the end. only one (banded) score became inevitable.
96-97 / 100 Punkte James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Figeac 2016 im April 2017: Splendid texture and finesse to this young Figeac with a pure silk texture. Full-bodied and ultra-fine. Lovely combination of fruit and freshness. The polish is gorgeous to this. Precision redefined. Pretty follow-up to the 2015.
95-98 / 100 Punkte WinespectatorJames Molesworth bewertet den Chateau Figeac 2016 im April 2017: Tight and backward. with a wall of cocoa and loam out front. but the core of cassis and blackberry fruit is prodigious. and the mix of charcoal. tobacco and warm paving stone notes making up the finish cuts a seriously wide swath. This needs to be tamed by its
élevage though.
