The Wine Advocate

"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."

Decanter Magazine

"2016 keeps Figeac on the trajectory set out in recent vintages, and is proof once again that power does not have to mean sacrificing precision and juiciness if it is done right. This is a great wine, with purity and focus from the balanced black fruit delivery. You don't feel anything drop through the palate - each element is held in suspension and it finishes strong with a mouthwatering flourish. 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak. 3.67pH. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050"

"36% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon. No pigeage, more like an infusion with gentle remontage.
Lively and very Figeac. Just as it should be. Zesty and confident and of the place. Rich palate entry and then lovely freshness. Firm and glorious. Like an arrow. Very pure. Frédéric Faye and the Manoncourt family should be very proud. Classic. Racy and juicy and beautifully balanced. Long. 14%"

"A great blend of density and supple, sensuous textures, velvety tannins and continuous waves of sweet, ripe, pure boysenberry, black cherry, licorice and chocolate. The fruit is very precise. The sweetness and purity is complimented by vibrant acidity and there is mouth-coating fruit that's fresh from start to finish. It’s often easy for me to choose a favorite vintage between 2015 and 2016 but not here. This is sublime! From a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.67 and will be aged in 100% new French oak for 18 months. The picking took place September 23 to October 20. The Grand Vin represents 60% of the harvest."

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur intense et noire. Nez intense, au fruité mûr, frais et vif. Gras dés l’entrée en bouche, caressant au milieu, très, très fruité, le vin s’avance élancé et savoureux vers une finale un brin tannique, mais enveloppée. Très belle longueur savoureuse et sèveuse. Degré d’alcool : 13°9 (dans la moyenne) – pH : 3,67 (moyenne basse) – IPT : 76 (moyenne haute)."

"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."

"97–99. Barrel Sample. This aromatic wine is magnificent in its balance and richness. With its high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (38%), it is so typical of this estate. The tannins are velvety while packing a firm punch. Dark and concentrated, it is a great wine for long-term aging."

Kunz Fassprobe 17:

"(36% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49 hl/ha, 14% vol. Alkohol) Dichtes, elegantes, frisches, komplexes Bouquet, Johannisbeeren, Heidelbeeren, Brombeeren, Minze, Tabak, fein Kräuter, Korinthen. Fein cremiger, dichter, vielschichtiger Gaumen mit kräftiger, süsser, feiner Frucht, viel feinem Tannin, vielfältiger, dichter, frischer Aromatik, eleganter, konzentrierter, fein muskulöser Struktur, sehr langer, voller, duftiger Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen. (19/20). 2017, im November, René Gabriel: Granat-Blutrot mit rubinen Nuancen am Rand aussen. Das Bouquet ist bereits in dieser jungen Phase schon traumhaft. Viel Würze, Zimt, Süssholz, Lebkuchenaromen, dunkles Malz und eine Gemisch- aus Kräuter und Früchtetee, dezent süss im Ansatz. Im Gaumen weist er zwar massive Tannine auf, die sind aber sehr elegant mit dem Fruchtfleisch und der generellen Fülle vermischt. Ein samtener, klassischer Figeac, der das aktuelle Qualitätsmanagement auf höchster Ebene dokumentiert. Hier liegt vielleicht in seiner Genussphase die Maximalnote drin. (19/20)."

Jeb Dunnuck

„Another brilliant wine from the genius of Frédéric Faye, the 2016 Château Figeac checks in as 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in new French oak. Roughly 75% of the production made it into the grand vin. This deeply colored beauty is a legendary wine in the making and offers ultra-pure aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, smoke tobacco, dried herbs, chocolate, truffle, and graphite. Showing more violets notes with time in the glass, it builds incrementally on the palate, with flawless balance as well as incredible elegance, no hard edges, and a finish that won't quit. Readers will have a blast comparing the 2016 and 2015 vintages over the coming 3-4 decades and this estate is firing on all cylinders. This will most likely merit a triple-digit rating in 7-8 years and keep for 4 decades or more.“

„The 2016 Figeac is another legendary Figeac in the making and it’s certainly in the same realm as the otherworldly 2015. A blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, it has an ultra-classic profile with cassis, blackcurrant, violets, and tobacco. Deep, incredibly concentrated, layered, and seamless, with building tannin and a huge finish, it's going to need to be forgotten for a decade, but will unquestionably be a monumental wine.“

Wine Spectator

"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.—J.M."

"Grand style musclé et intense. Le terroir de graves a permis à 26 % de cabernet franc et 38 % de sauvignon de s’exprimer avec une finesse et une profondeur sans équivalent sur cette rive."

VINOUS

"The 2016 Figeac has been super-impressive on both occasions I have tasted it so far. A big wine, the 2016 exudes depth and power. Even so, the forbidding tannins are almost shockingly buried by the sheer intensity and purity of the fruit. Graphite, savory herbs, smoke, menthol, licorice and smoke are some of the many accents that infuse the huge finish. As good as the 2016 is today, it is clearly for readers who can afford to be patient, as it will likely be many years before the wine is ready to drink. Technical Director Frédéric Faye, consulting winemaker Michel Rolland and the team have done a superb job with the 2016."

Antonio Galloni 94-97+ Punkte (Apr. 2017)

 

"The 2016 Figeac is simply extraordinary. A wine of pure energy and vitality, the 2016 pulses with a real sense of drive. Lavender, mint, crème de cassis and cedar start to develop in the glass, but what is most remarkable about the 2016 is its total sense of harmony. There is natural tension, a sort of push and pull, between the wine's intense fruit and structural underpinnings that makes the 2016 a marvel to taste and contemplate. It was positively stunning in two separate tastings. Technical Director Frédéric Faye and his team made an epic Figeac in 2016."

Antonio Galloni 98+ Punkte (Jan. 2019)

 

"The 2016 Figeac was bottled at the end of July 2018, since Frédéric Faye wanted to give the wine more time in barrel to develop more harmony. The stunning 24-carat bouquet rivets you to the spot with brilliant delineation and mineral-rich red fruit that articulates its terroir as well as any Right Bank you will find. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, perfect acidity, wonderfully integrated new oak and enormous depth toward the fresh, pencil-box- and cedar-infused finish. This is a classic Figeac, up there with the 1947 and 1949, both recently re-tasted and testifying to a wine that genuinely belongs among the elite Saint-Émilions. Faye believes it is the best Figeac he has ever made. He is correct."

"36% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon

Pourpre violacé. Nez complexe, intense, révélant des notes de lard fumé et de fruits tels que myrtilles et mûres. Notes de menthe, de bois de réglisse et de poivre noir. Touche de violette. Attaque friande et fruitée. Corps crémeux, élégant et compact. Caractère équilibré avec des tannins qui se révèlent lentement en fin de bouche et qui sont de pair avec une structure vive et rafraîchissante. Les tannins sont dotés d’un grain très fin et sont déjà bien intégrés. Avec la structure ils offrent un excellent potentiel de garde. Finale fruitée, persistante. Un très grand vin qui aura besoin de temps mais qui est déjà très bon, et c’est bien là qu’un grand millésime se révèle car il est bon dès le départ."
