The TOP winemakers of Bordeaux

History of Château de Fieuzal

The history of Château de Fieuzal dates back more than 400 years, to a time when this vast wine-growing estate was managed by modest vine growers. The estate took its current name in 1864, in homage to Lovely Fieuzal, the last descendant of the Fieuzal family, who played a decisive role in the recognition of the vineyard.

One of the landmark events in Fieuzal's history is the 1893 vintage, which became legendary after being served at the table of Pope Leo XIII at the Vatican. This moment of glory greatly contributed to establishing the estate's international reputation. In 1959, Château de Fieuzal was elevated to the rank of Grand Cru Classé de Graves for its red wines, consolidating its prestige among the great names of Bordeaux.

The estate went through several periods of change, notably under the direction of five different families, each bringing their own vision and personal touch. After a difficult period in the 1990s, the estate was acquired in 2001 by Lochlann Quinn, an Irish businessman, who invested heavily to modernise and revitalise Fieuzal. The arrival of Stephen Carrier as director and winemaker in 2007, along with the collaboration with consultant Thomas Duclos, marked a new era of excellence for the estate.

Terroirs and Vines of Château de Fieuzal

Château de Fieuzal extends over a vineyard of 70 hectares, of which 60 hectares are dedicated to red grape varieties and 10 hectares to white grape varieties. The exceptional geographical location of the estate on gravelly ridges, typical of the Graves appellation, plays a paramount role in the quality of the wines produced here. The soil, composed of gravel, sand and clay, is particularly well drained and allows the vines to draw on rich minerals, while retaining vital freshness, even during periods of drought.

The terroir of Château de Fieuzal is also marked by the presence of the Eau Blanche stream, which provides natural and beneficial moisture, particularly during drier vintages. The best parcels, located on sloping hills, reach up to 58 meters in altitude, offering an ideal environment for growing Bordeaux's emblematic grape varieties.

The grape variety composition of the estate is typical of the region, with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), complemented by Merlot (37%), Petit Verdot (8%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) for the reds. As for the white wines, the vineyard is composed of a perfect balance between Sauvignon Blanc (50%) and Sémillon (50%). The vines of Château de Fieuzal average 35 years of age, with certain parcels containing century-old vines, notably the Petit Verdot plants, planted in 1908.

Winemaking at Château de Fieuzal

The winemaking at Château de Fieuzal reflects a harmonious marriage between tradition and modernity. In 2012, the estate undertook a major renovation, completely modernising its winemaking facilities to allow for greater precision in the crafting of its wines.

Red wine vinification

The red wines of Château de Fieuzal are vinified in a combination of wooden and stainless steel vats. This method preserves the integrity and expression of each grape variety. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot are vinified in stainless steel vats, while the Merlot and Cabernet Franc are reserved for wooden vats. The use of these different vats, in varying sizes ranging from 15 to 185 hectoliters, allows for meticulous parcel-by-parcel vinification, guaranteeing a rigorous selection of the finest berries.

The red wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a proportion of 35% to 50% new barrels, depending on the characteristics of the vintage. The ageing period ranges from 16 to 24 months, giving the wines the structure and elegance needed to age harmoniously.

White wine vinification

The white wines of Château de Fieuzal also benefit from particular attention. Vinification takes place in French oak barrels, with 50% new barrels. Unlike the reds, there is no malolactic fermentation for the whites, which preserves their freshness and tension. Ageing lasts between 16 and 18 months, depending on the style of the vintage, giving the wines an ample texture and a remarkable aromatic balance.

The cuvées of Château de Fieuzal

Château de Fieuzal produces cuvées in both red and white, each reflecting the diversity of its terroir and the expertise of its team.

Château de Fieuzal Rouge - Grand Cru Classé de Graves

This cuvée is the result of a blend dominated by Merlot (65%), complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and a touch of Petit Verdot (5%). It stands out for its aromatic richness, with notes of dark fruits, spices and a fine tannic structure. Its silky texture and ageing potential make it an ideal wine to enjoy after several years in the cellar.

Château de Fieuzal Blanc

This white wine, made in equal parts from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, is a true model of balance. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, it stands out for its aromas of zesty fruits and white flowers, and its smooth texture. The minerality brought by the gravelly terroir gives the wine a great freshness and a lingering finish. It is a wine for ageing, perfect for lovers of whites of great finesse.

L'Abeille de Fieuzal Rouge

The estate's second wine, L'Abeille de Fieuzal rouge is more approachable in its youth. It offers a fine balance between fruitiness and structure, with a more immediate appeal than its elder, while retaining a beautiful freshness.

L'Abeille de Fieuzal Blanc

Just as with the reds, this cuvée is a second wine that is more approachable in its youth. L'Abeille de Fieuzal blanc is a fine introduction to the world of Fieuzal's great whites, with its fruity aromas, freshness and natural elegance.

The vintages of Graves and Pessac-Léognan, two appellations of Bordeaux, are distinguished by their consistent quality. The years 1975, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1990 are particularly appreciated for their finesse and balance. The vintages 1998, 2000, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are also remarkable for their structure and ageing potential. More recently, the vintages 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 confirm the continuation of this excellence, with wines offering both elegance and longevity.

Explore the full range of Grands Crus Classés of Graves, an appellation renowned for the diversity and quality of its wines.
