"Fieuzal 2021, a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, offers an expressive and sensual bouquet with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, rose, licorice, and spring flowers. Beautifully structured, elegant, and refined, pure and crystalline, it is perfectly balanced and finishes with a savory, taut, and airy finish. Rich and seductive, this wine is a superb expression of the sandy and gravelly soils.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
For many years, this estate was renowned first and foremost for its white wine—one of the most well-rounded in Léognan—and later for its red, which, at its best, is one of the finest expressions of the Pessac-Léognan character. The past decade has seen the return of Fieuzal white to its former glory. The new, state-of-the-art cellars, equipped with numerous small tanks of varying capacities—made of concrete, stainless steel, or wood—now allow Stephen Carrier, the director, to craft wines of the highest caliber.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This classified growth, located in the very south of Léognan, produced some of Bordeaux’s finest white wines in the 1980s. After being sold to Banque Populaire in 1994, Fieuzal declined until 2001. That was the year Irish businessman Lochlann Quinn acquired it, then hired Stephen Carrier, originally from Champagne, as director. From then on, the estate regained its excellent standing, with a clear focus on body, structure, and tannic elegance in the reds, and freshness following the arrival of consultant Thomas Duclos. With some setbacks (2013) and major successes (2008), the whites are gradually regaining their full-bodied, intense character and aging potential.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 94-95/100
About the wine:
A delicious treat that makes you want to take a bite! Notes of plum clafoutis, with a hint of vanilla, accompanied by hints of cedar. The palate is light and airy, with a distinct taste of ripe fruit. It’s full-bodied yet supple. A subtle bitterness against notes of pink grapefruit zest rounds out the experience with a refreshing finish.

About the wine:
The bouquet of the 2021 Fieuzal immediately makes you want to taste and savor the wine, as it evokes such fruitiness and freshness. This is perfectly reflected in the attack and then on the palate. The wine has body and tannins with a hint of austerity that highlights the aromatics, along with an acidic structure that ensures the wine’s juiciness. A wine that only underscores the exceptional upward trajectory that Fieuzal embarked upon a few years ago. 2025–2046

About the wine:
The nose is beautifully developed, fresh, and offers a spicy note, a certain power combined with delicacy, a lovely attention to detail, a touch of concentration, and a subtle airiness. It features notes of wild blackcurrant—ripe and vibrant—and cherry [...]

About the wine:
Deep purple color with violet highlights and a black core. A powerful nose with aromas of blackcurrant and black cherries, meringue, vanilla, and subtle toasty and woody notes. On the palate, it is well-structured with firm tannins, lovely aromatic length, and notes of herbs and pencil lead in the background. A balanced, fresh wine with a certain depth.
