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

Aromas of ripe peach and apricot with notes of tropical fruit and a subtle touch of wet wool. On the palate it is rich and concentrated balanced with a vibrant acidity that gives a lovely freshness. Full bodied and textured, it reveals a mineral streak that adds complexity, leading to a long, lingering finish.

Vinification

From 11 hectares of the estate’s 75-hectare vineyard, winemaker Stephen Carrier has produced one of the finest white wines of the 2024 vintage. The harvest took place between September 9th and 19th, yielding an impressive 41 hl/ha. The grapes were whole bunch pressed, with two thirds of the crop fermented and aged in small oak barrels, half of which are new, with the remainder in acacia wood, which is less porous and thus, allows for a more gradual oxygen exchange.
