70% Merlot
30% Cabernet Franc

The charm of Clos la Fleur Figeac is due to its gravel and 'old' sand soil, together with the sunny position of its mix of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. Harvesting is manual, with a second hand selection of grapes prior to traditional vinification: about 3 weeks maceration in stainless steel vat, followed by maturation in oak barrel for 12 - 15 months. Clos la Fleur Figeac is the second wine of Château de la Tour du Pin Figeac.

Jean-Michel's notes

Tasting notes

  • Beautiful deep ruby colour
  • Robust nose, complex, smoked spices, fruity, with delicate 'animal' flavours
  • On the palate, plenty of body and a silky texture. Wonderful aromas promise a great wine
