Refined and very pretty with chocolate, berries and hints of cedar. Medium body, very fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Very well done. Second wine of Figeac. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

The density of this wine is impressive. Powered by its velvety tannins and ample acidity, ripe black fruits thrust forward to offer both richness and intensity. The crisp, black currant flavor on the finish lifts the whole wine. Apr 2017, Roger Voss, www.wineenthusiast.com

This has a fun core of blackberry and black currant fruit, picking up light spearmint and anise notes along the way. Twinge of apple wood on the finish. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

The 2016 Petit-Figeac is dark, supple and inviting, with lovely midpalate depth and creaminess. It is exactly what a second wine should be: an introduction to the house style. In 2016, Petit-Figeac has more Cabernet Franc than is often the case, and this, along with the personality of the vintage, gives the wine vibrancy, freshness and energy. Very nicely done. Tasted two times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
