Ratings: Robert Parker 92/100, Gault Millau 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve15.5/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine)
“Magnificent aromas of wood smoke, earth, honeysuckle, lemongrass, and melon, all present in this aromatically complex wine. It has superb depth, is well-structured, with good acidity and a long finish. It should age well for 20 years.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) • Delivered in the original wooden case for orders of 12 bottles shipped within France •

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
This estate was long renowned first 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 Fieuzal white return to its former glory. The new, state-of-the-art cellars, equipped with numerous small tanks of various sizes—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 you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This classified growth, located in the very southern part 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 former excellence, with a clear focus on body, structure, and tannic elegance in the reds, and freshness in the whites following the arrival of consultant Thomas Duclos. With some setbacks (2013) and great successes (2008), the whites are gradually reclaiming their full-bodied, intense character and aging potential.
