Belle robe sombre. Nez intensément fruité, s’ouvrant sur des notes de cacao. Corps ample, généreux, d’une belle richesse de constitution.

Elegant in all the right ways, combined with freshness, thyme, smoke and ripe, red fruits blended with black plums, this wine serves up a soft, sweet, silky, medium bodied, finesse styled, cherry finish.

The 2015 La Tour Figeac was very backward and unresponsive in the glass, despite vigorous coaxing. The palate is better with quite rigid tannin, plenty of freshness, a little sultry compared to its peers, but with good density on the finish. I suspect this may merit a higher evaluation after bottling - broody now, but sure to mellow by the time of bottling.

Appetising style with dark, crunchy fruit and a refreshing minty note. Generous fruit on the palate with plenty of energy and zest. Clean, fresh finish. Offers great value.

Élégant, fruité, profond, racé et fin, allonge mûre. Volume harmonieux, mûres et fraises compotées, allonge veloutée, suave, profonde. Gras, ample, bien construit, longueur fruitée.

The 2015 La Tour Figeac presents a distinctly savory profile. Iron, smoke, tobacco and earthy notes dominate, while the fruit is pushed into the background. I very much like the energy here, but would like to see a bit more depth and sweetness through the middle. The blend is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Christine Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu are the consulting winemakers.

A Stéphane Derenoncourt wine. Polished and lively with real excitement and meatiness. Waltzes! Good stuff.

93–95. Barrel Sample. This wine is packed with ripe, pure fruitiness. It has delicious black-currant fruits that are shot through with acidity and soft tannins. At the end, attractive freshness is a fine contrast to the structure.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez fruité à la fois frais et mûr. Bouche distinguée et parfumée, pas très puissante, mais au déroulé tout en douceur et sans angle. Bonne longueur.

Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Holunder und Schokonoten im ersten Ansatz, schöner Aromendruck. Im Gaumen samtig, weich mit angerundeten, aber nicht zu unterschätzenden Tanninen, ganz feine Bitternoten im Finale. Da kann er aber noch integrieren mit dem Ausbau. 17/20 2023 – 2039
