Château la Grave Figeac — Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020
£46.00
Six hectares on the Figeac plateau, hemmed in on all sides by Cheval Blanc, Figeac and — over the Pomerol line — La Conseillante. Merlot with a third Cabernet Franc off gravel terraces, aged around a year in a third new oak, a third one-year barrels and a third concrete. Cherries, spice and sweet earth; broad but lively, with the moderate alcohol that made 2020 such a fine Right Bank vintage. Wine Advocate gave it 92 points and the Guide Hachette a star. Certified organic (Ecocert) since the 2012 vintage.
Available at the Wine Boy stall, Stockport Indoor Market Hall. 10% off six bottles or more.
