JS94: his is tight and chewy with intense, refined tannins that provide energy and focus. It's medium-bodied with linear energy and freshness and a lightly austere finish. Excellent energy for the vintage. Crunchy is the word. Drinkable now, but better in a few years. Try after 2028.

JD94: There are a little over 1,000 cases of the 2022 Petit-Figeac, which is 58% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 20% new barrels. Tasting just like a mini Figeac, it has ripe currants, leafy tobacco, spring flowers, and leather notes in a round, supple, beautifully balanced, elegant package. This classic, elegant, seamless second wine will be loved by readers.
