【📝概述】
🇫🇷 Figeac 城堡酒莊是聖愛美濃 (Saint-Émilion) 最著名和最大的葡萄酒莊園之一，佔地 54 公頃，其中 41 公頃是葡萄園。 聖愛美濃葡萄酒通常以梅洛 (Merlot) 為主，但 Figeac 葡萄酒的味道更像梅多克 (Médoc) 和格拉夫 (Graves) 區域，因為它的土壤以礫石為主，因此種植葡萄品種為卡本內蘇維翁 Cabernet Sauvignon（35%）、卡本內弗朗 Cabernet Franc（ 35%）和梅洛 Merlot（30%）。
城堡源於一個古老的莊園，其歷史可以追溯到 2 世紀，當時在莊園上建造了一座高盧羅馬別墅，並以 Figeacus 家族的名字命名。在 18 世紀後期，該物業的面積接近 200 公頃，但在 19 世紀被多次出售和細分，直到 1892 年 Henri de Chevremont 買下它。
在 20 世紀，該領域的關鍵人物之一 Thierry Manoncourt 於 1947 年接管了城堡。多虧他，Figeac 莊園才登上了聖愛美濃的舞台。 Thierry Manoncourt 去世後，他的遺孀 Marie-France Manoncourt 接管了莊園，並在 2018 年至 2021 年之間，用 3 年時間重建了新酒窖，非常壯觀。
⭐ 我們有機會品嚐他們的紅酒，Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2011（ 一等特級酒莊 Premier Grand Cru Classé），帶有深色水果（黑櫻桃、黑莓）、青椒、甘草、雪茄/煙草、皮革、石墨、泥土的味道，酸度清新、單寧柔軟、酒體飽滿，真的是很美好的葡萄酒。
再次感謝 Gwennaëlle 的熱情和無私地分享知識。

【📝Brief intro】
🇫🇷 Incredible visit to the Chateau Figeac, one of the most famous and largest wine estates in Saint-Émilion, comprising 54 hectares in one block, of which 41 hectares are vineyards. Saint-Émilion wines are usually dominated by Merlot, but Figeac wine tastes more like the wines of Médoc and Graves due to its soil, which is dominated by gravel, and therefore is planted in grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (35%), Cabernet Franc (35%), and Merlot (30%).
The Chateau originates from an ancient estate that traces its roots back to the 2nd century when a Gallo-Roman villa was built on the estate and named after the Figeacus family. In the late 18th century, the property was close to 200 hectares in size but was sold and subdivided several times in the 19th century until 1892, when Henri de Chevremont bought it.
In the 20th century, one of the key figures in the domain was Thierry Manoncourt who took over the running of Château-Figeac in 1947. it is thanks to him that the estate will find itself on the front of the stage of Saint Emilion. After the passing of Thierry Manoncourt, his widow, Marie-France Manoncourt, has took over the estate and organized the construction of new cellars over 3 years, between 2018 and 2021 which we could visit with my wife, and they are magnificent.
⭐ We had the chance to taste their wine, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2011 (Premier Grand Cru Classé), with notes of dark fruits (black cherry, blackberry), green bell pepper, licorice, cigar/tobacco, leather, graphite, earth, tannins are soft, well integrated, full-bodied and a still a fresh acidity. Just beautiful.
Thank you again Gwennaëlle for your passion and knowledge.
