Château Fieuzal

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.

The wines of Château de Fieuzal enjoy an excellent reputation, the reds are racy, fine and elegant while the whites are unctuous and of great aromatic purity.

Description Château de Fieuzal 2021.

The wines of Château de Fieuzal have a special charm, inseparable from the place from which they come. Each bottle allows us to share Fieuzal's unique energy, bringing to life every aspect of our complex terroir in an intense yet precise balance. Fieuzal has the intriguing ability to hold attention, combining taste and sensation, the senses and the sensual.

Fieuzal red is a deliciously complex blend of several grape varieties, authentically expressing the incredible diversity of the vineyard. Aged an average of 12 months in French oak barrels, this wine is elegant, expressive and dynamic throughout its life.

Unique in the way it unfolded, the conditions of this vintage were stressful throughout the vegetative period right up to the late harvest. After a calm winter with mild conditions, budburst took place at the end of March in all our plots. Long flowering due to a wetter-than-normal spring, followed by very hot temperatures creating a tropical climate.

This vintage is no exception to the breed characteristics of 2021. There's a wild, authentic character typical of the greatest wines that seek to respect the place where they are produced.

The color is a light, intense purple. On the nose, aromas of redcurrant, tangerine and light notes of white pepper, contributed by both Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

Freshness on the palate, with good tension and a long finish. A somewhat coated salinity stands out on the finish. The tannins are elegant and precise.
