"Christine Derenoncourt, the wife of one of Bordeaux's leading winemaking gurus, Stephane Derenoncourt, has fashioned one of the finest wines La Tour Figeac has yet produced. A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc from a bio-dynamically farmed vineyard, and produced from yields of 22.5 hectoliters per hectare, this is a gorgeously fragrant 2004 offering scents of incense, black cherries, raspberries, currants, and notions of white chocolate as well as earth. With a lush, medium to full-bodied texture, surprising opulence, good acidity, and a layered finish, this impressive offering should drink well for 12-15 years. Moreover, it should be reasonably priced."
