Fieuzal
Bought in 2001 by Brenda and Lochlann Quinn, De Fieuzal's Irish owners seem to have struck gold with their winemaker Stephen Carrier who joined in 2007. Under his stewardship, they are 'experiencing a renaissance' and are now 'achieving things no one would have thought possible a decade ago' in the eyes of the Wine Advocate's Yohan Castaing.
The philosophy involves as much looking forward as it does looking back, in so much as they have embraced technological advances in any way possible, building a brand new state-of-the-art cellar, to improve the winemaking process while also returning to more traditional ways in an attempt to improve the quality of their soils and the biodiversity of the estate. The final step in their evolution has been to bring in Thomas Duclot has consultant since the 2019 vintage, the mastermind behind the rise of Canon, Troplong Mondot and Figeac in recent years. They are now doing gentler cooler extraction, less pumping over and using less new oak which is all combining to make a much more precise wines and keeping freshness which the best wines, in particular Canon, have been doing very well. All this hard work has paid off as they are now producing 'some of the most elegant and unique wines of Pessac-Léognan and Bordeaux' according to Castaing.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2014 de Fieuzal is a bold, racy wine. Sweet red cherry, iron, smoke and tobacco give the wine its distinctive flavor profile. The tannins have softened quite a bit over the last 18 months, which has allowed the fruit to show lovely succulence and creaminess. Drink this juicy Pessac-Leognan now and over the next handful of years. There is plenty to like in this expressive sleeper wine for the vintage. Tasted two times. |

Wine Advocate (94)Perfumed and elegant, the 2019 de Fieuzal wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries, licorice, coniferous forest floor and incense. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with a pretty core of fruit, powdery tannin and a saline finish, it's a seamless, vibrant Pessac that—like its white counterpart—reflects the progress this 80-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate is making. It's a sleeper of the vintage. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2022 de Fieuzal meets all expectations, unfurling with a perfumed bouquet of violet, iris, dark wild berries and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, it gains depth with the élevage, revealing a fleshy core of fruit and an enrobing mid-palate framed by velvety, sweet tannins. Finishing long, ethereal and fresh, this blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot is one of my favorite wines in Pessac-Léognan. It will offer a broad drinking window and should improve with time in the cellar. |
