Château de Fieuzal 2009
Notes: Robert Parker 91/93+/100, Gault Millau 17/20 (Coup de Coeur), RVF 16.5/20
“Tasted as a primeur, it was so delicate that it seemed weak. After aging, while remaining delicate, this 2009 gains depth and opens up to reveal a vibrant and elegant palate. A delicate yet very long finish.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau) • Delivered in the original wooden case for orders of 6 bottles shipped within France •

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
For a long time, this estate was renowned first for its white wine—one of the most well-rounded in Léognan—and later for its red as well, which, at its best, is one of the most brilliant examples of the Pessac-Léognan character. The past decade has marked a return to the highest level of quality for Fieuzal’s white wine. 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 with the precision of haute couture.

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