Chateau Cormeil - Figeac 2018 Saint - Emilion Grand Cru

Tasting Notes

Château Cormeil‑Figeac 2018 opens with generous black plum and black cherry layered over mint, capsicum, earth, and a touch of milk chocolate, showing medium acidity, chalky tannins, and a medium body that carries a warm, slightly intense finish. The palate is dense and full‑bodied, driven by ripe black fruits and firm structure, with enough freshness to keep the wine lively even in its youth. It benefits from additional cellaring, as the tannins and richness suggest optimal drinking beginning around 2025.
This vintage pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, mushroom dishes, or hearty stews, as the wine’s dark‑fruit depth and tannic backbone complement rich proteins and earthy flavors. Aged cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda also work well, balancing the wine’s structure and subtle sweetness.
