This Chateau is Grand Cru Classee close to its more famous neighbour Figeac. The colour is deep dark red with a red / purple rim and long beautiful legs. The wine has nice firm aromas of black fruit, spices and violet (20% Cabernet Franc). The taste is fruity with firm soft tannins thanks to the 80% Merlot, but a big solid mouthful and long aftertaste.
The chateau owns 25 hectares with a mix of clay soil in the north and sandy soil in the south. Overall I believe this chateau to be underrated which is supported by the price around 20€ per bottle. Figeac would set you back between 50 and 100€ (which is stupid), but Yon Figeac is a definite P+ with a total score around 17.50!
