Description
Characteristics and Tasting Notes for Château La Tour Figeac 2025
Tasting
Colour
True to the estate's signature style, this red wine displays a deep, concentrated colour that reflects excellent ripeness without being overly opaque.
Nose
The property's characteristic aromatic profile offers an expressive bouquet dominated by red and black fruits such as cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant. The whole is often enhanced by notes of liquorice, spice and undergrowth, along with delicate mineral touches.
Palate
Faithful to the identity of the cru, the palate favours elegance over overt power. The texture is silky and harmonious, supported by soft tannins, leading to a remarkably fresh finish.
Food and Wine Pairings
This cuvée will pair perfectly with tender meats such as beef fillet, roast veal chop or duck breast. It will also be a wonderful match for dishes with mushroom sauces, poultry with wild mushrooms or roasted root vegetables.
Serving and Ageing
Château La Tour Figeac 2025 has a fine structure that gives it excellent ageing potential. It will develop gracefully in the cellar for around fifteen years, or even longer.
The Finesse and Complexity of a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
The Estate
Established in 1879 when it was separated from the Figeac lands, Château La Tour Figeac is a leading family estate in the Bordeaux region of France. Acquired by the Rettenmaier family in 1973, the estate is now run by Otto Maximilian Rettenmaier. This Grand Cru Classé quickly stood out for its environmentally respectful approach, becoming a pioneer of biodynamics. The cru is renowned for producing wines that combine purity, elegance and an authentic expression of their terroir.
The Vineyard
Located on the border with Pomerol, this single-block vineyard of around 14.5 hectares enjoys a prime location within the Saint-Emilion appellation. The vines thrive on a gentle rise of gravel and sand over deep clay. This exceptional terroir, surrounded by illustrious neighbours, is planted at high density and worked mechanically, without any chemical weedkillers, in strict respect of the natural balance.
Winemaking and Ageing
The grapes undergo meticulous plot-by-plot vinification, with an emphasis on punching down for a gentle, even extraction. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. Château La Tour Figeac 2025 is aged for around 15 months in a combination of large wooden casks and stainless steel tanks to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins.
