Product Description
Description
The 2015 Yon-Figeac is super-impressive. Deep, unctuous and powerful, the 2015 possesses remarkable intensity to match its voluptuous, flamboyant personality. Readers should expect a full throttle, modern Saint-Émilion built on concentration and textural richness. All the elements are very nicely balanced throughout. Vinous

Critique Review
"Very rich dark berries and plums with an attractive and deep, fresh-fruit edge. The palate has a very smooth, fresh and sweetly fruited core with ripe, plush and approachable tannins. A blend of 81 per cent merlot, 13 per cent cabernet franc and six per cent petit verdot. Try from 2020."
90 Points, James Suckling
"While this wine still has serious layers of tannins, it also delivers considerable ripe black-fruit flavors. The estate in the Figeac sector of Saint-Emilion has produced a powerful wine that is firm and that will age further. Drink from 2022."
93 Points, Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
