Red Wine: 1946 | Chateau Figeac | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
The 1946 Château Figeac comes from a generally modest post-war Bordeaux vintage, produced during a period of recovery following World War II. While conditions were more stable than during wartime years, the growing season still lacked the consistency and ideal ripening conditions of stronger vintages.

The 1946 Château Figeac comes from a generally modest post-war Bordeaux vintage, produced during a period of recovery following World War II. While conditions were more stable than during wartime years, the growing season still lacked the consistency and ideal ripening conditions of stronger vintages. As a result, wines from 1946 tend to be lighter, earlier-maturing, and now appreciated mainly for their historical character rather than depth or longevity.
Producer Information
Château Figeac is a highly rated and well regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, on the so-called right bank of the Dordogne river in the northeast of the region. Figeac's eponymous flagship wine (or "grand vin" as is often called) is known for its rich nose, silky texture and elegance, and for its aging potential in better vintages. There has been an estate on the site since Roman times, although viticulture only grew significantly following the middle ages. By the 18th Century the vineyard was much larger until sections were sold off in the 19th Century, including those that expanded Cheval Blanc in 1832. Numerous properties attest to this dispersal with a number of neighboring châteaux containing an appended "Figeac" to their titles, including the likes of Yon Figeac and La Tour du Pin Figeac.
