La Tour Figeac 2021 (750ML)

89-91+ WA / 85 JA / 16 JR

The 2021 La Tour Figeac is a fine effort from this estate bordering Figeac that's in organic conversion. Unfurling in the glass with notes of red berries, cherries, fresh mint, loamy soil and rose petals, it's medium-bodied, seamless and charming, with melting tannins and an elegant, giving profile. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

You have to feel for La Tour Figeac here, as they were impacted by low yields down to below 15hl/h, but the wine struggles to deliver real momentum. There are blueberry and redcurrant fruits, but fresh acidities and lacking in depth. 40% new oak. Tasted twice. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Perfumed nose and palate with a hint of blueberry fruit. Fleshy but refined. Light tannic frame but tannins finely honed. Appealing wine for earlier consumption. - Jancis Robinson
