94/100 Points
"A juicy and expressive red with plum and berry character as well as hints of crushed stones and grilled citrus. Medium- to full-bodied, it has juicy fruit and a flavourful finish."
Antonio Galloni, Vinous
94/100 Points
"The 2022 La Tour Figeac is elegant, polished and refined. Bright red-toned fruit, spice, blood orange and floral overtones lift from the glass. Fine, nuanced tannins frame it all in an effortless, exquisite Saint-Émilion that has so much to offer. It's all class and finesse here."
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
93+/100 Points
"The 2022 La Tour Figeac has a completely seductive bouquet of rose, cassis, mulberries and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless, it has a fleshy core of fruit, enveloping and layered texture and a long, perfumed and lively finish. This blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc is a real success and a wine that always rewards patience."
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, it bursts with aromas of red fruits, rose petals, cassis, and a hint of blood orange. The palate is smooth, silky, and fresh, with juicy plum and berry flavours, complemented by touches of crushed stones, grilled citrus, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm yet well-supported, contributing to a structured, elegant finish.
