Château Figeac is one of the leading St-Emilion estates and its wine, with its high Cabernet content, has often been described as the most Médoc-like in St-Emilion. Since 2010 Figeac has been managed by Comte Eric d’Aramon and his wife Laure. It is located in the north-west of the appellation with its vineyards adjoining those of Cheval Blanc. Figeac has been on an incredible run of form over recent years. and the wines are now on par with the very best in the appellation.
Château La Conseillante's 13 hectares of vineyards are located on a plateau in eastern Pomerol on the boundary with the St-Emilion appellation. Its vineyards border those of L'Evangile, Vieux Château Certan and Cheval Blanc. This is Marielle Cazeau’s eighth year at La Conseillante, having arrived at the estate in 2015 from just over the fence, so to speak, as former winemaker for Petit Village. With a potential perfect score from Wine Advocate it's up there with the top wines of the vintage.

2023 Figeac (Saint-Emilion)
98 DE / 98 JA / 97-98 JS / 96-98 WA / 96-98 WI / 96-98 VM
High-toned aromatics, purple fruit, blackcurrant, wet stones and minerality on the nose, really quite scented and alive, floral, purple flowers, and ripe black fruit with freshness too. Supple and succulent, a good plushness here, not chalky or chewy but ripe and cool at the same time. Hints of dark chocolate, liquorice, blueberry and wet stone also gives the mineral accents. Silky but this wine has an amazing texture. Cool and classic, but there’s clear ripeness too. Almost thick, but refined. High acidity, great lift and zing - tannins are present and apparent, gently expanding around the mouth. It’s more serious than usual, a touch more firm with tension but equally it's structured with a long, mouthwatering finish. This will be lovely! 3.68pH. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter

2023 La Conseillante (Pomerol)
98-100 WA / 97-99 WI / 98 DE / 97-98 JS / 96-98 VM / 97 JA / 95-97 JD
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 La Conseillante pounces from the glass with playful scents of Morello cherries, wild blueberries, and juicy plums leading to fragrant suggestions of violets, dark chocolate, rosebud tea, and star anise. The medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and graceful, with super-sleek kitten-soft tannins and spectacular tension that delivers an electric feel, although the finish purrs. 85% of this year's crop went in to the First Wine, a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc with pH 3.68. - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Independent
