A fine reference in the Graves region, Château de Fieuzal is located in the commune of Léognan. Existing for several centuries but abandoned in the aftermath of the French Revolution, the vineyard was reborn at the end of the First Empire, and its reputation has continued to grow.
Classed red in the Graves Classification in 1953, it has been owned by Irish couple Brenda and Lochlann Quinn since 2001. With tradition and modernity, the vineyard is managed with the greatest care and respect for the environment. Thanks to a new winery inaugurated in 2011, optimization is the watchword during vinification.
The Château de Fieuzal has a 48-hectare vineyard planted on gravel and sandy clay-limestone soils.
- The red grape varieties (42 ha) are 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet franc. The grand vin is aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new. L'Abeille de Fieuzal is the Second red wine.
- The white grape varieties (6 ha) are 60% Sauvignon blanc and 40% Sémillon. The grand vin blanc is aged for 8 to 14 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which are new. L'Abeille de Fieuzal is the Second white wine.
