Fieuzal 2020

de Fieuzal

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

Château de Fieuzal describe their wines as “inseparable from the place from which they are grown”. Forged from the sandy, gravelly soil of Graves’ terroir, Château de Fieuzal’s Rouge Cru Classé is a complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Restoring biodiversity is a key focal point for the Château, who not only have a plethora of flora and fauna growing throughout the vineyard but are also heavily focused on the growing cultivation of Merlot and Petit Verdot to abet this change. Aged in oak barrels for an average of 12 months, the Rouge Cru Classé remains expressive and bold throughout the whole of its lifetime.

Composed of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2020 de Fieuzal Rouge is deep garnet-purple in color. It wafts out with fragrant scents of dried flowers and fallen leaves over a core of plum preserves and warm cassis plus a touch of Chinese five spice. The medium to full-bodied palate offers bright acidity and a firm, grainy texture to support the muscular fruit, finishing with great length and energy.

From a château that deserves more recognition in the market, the 2020 Château De Fieuzal is a brilliant Pessac- Léognan based on 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot raised in 60% new barrels. It has a gorgeously pure nose of cassis, ripe black cherries, violets, spice, and scorched earth. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, seamless, layered wine with ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great mix of richness and elegance. It deserves 4-5 years in the cellar and will drinking incredibly well over the following two decades.
