Specification

Producer

Château de Fieuzal

The Château was acquired in 2001 by Irish businessman and philanthropist, Lochlann Quinn, who has invested heavily whilst also increasing the vineyard holdings, to become one of the larger Classified Growths of the Pessac-Legnan Appellation. The 48ha of vines are split 39ha of red grapes and (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot) and 9ha of white grapes (split equally between Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc).

Tasting Notes

The bouquet displays a vibrant fresh red fruit with notes of liquorice and tobacco. The palate is stylish and elegant, with fine-grained, polished tannins and a touch of sweet oak.

Vinification

Winemaker Stephen Carrier, working alongside consultant Thomas Duclos, has produced a wine full of vibrant fruit. Harvested between September 20th and October 11th, beginning with Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is the result of low yields (28 hl/ha) and meticulous vinification, including a gentle extraction and extended maceration of 35–40 days. Aged in 30% new oak.
