For 120 years, the Manoncourt family has been at the head of the Château Figeac, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé B. With more than 40 hectares of vines, Figeac is one of the largest estates in the region, bordering Pomerol.

With great quality sandy gravel, found, in particular, at its prestigious neighbour Cheval Blanc, and a microclimate that favours the ripening of the grapes, its wine-growing potential is exceptional. It is found in the wine, recognisable among all. Its unique blend gives it a racy allure, tannins of rare elegance, and particularly bright in warm vintages.
