Description
The complexity and smoothness of a red wine from Pomerol
The estate
From 1938 onwards, Louis Rapin acquired vineyards in the Montagne Saint-Émilion and Saint-Émilion appellations, including those of Château La Tour Figeac. Following the acquisition of various plots of vines in 1961, Louis Rapin renamed the estate Château La Rose Figeac. This Pomerol vineyard on the right bank of Bordeaux has been managed by Nathalie Despagne since 2013. As soon as she took on this role, Nathalie Despagne carried out extensive work to elevate Château La Rose Figeac’s reputation in the Pomerol appellation.
The vineyard
Château La Rose Figeac 2021 is a Pomerol wine made from a 4.56-hectare vineyard, located in the southeast of Pomerol on typical sandy-gravel soils. With the ploughing, grassing and green work, the plots of vines, aged 30 years old on average, are cultivated in an organic manner, certified by Ecocert since 2009.
