« Dégusté lors des primeurs, si fin, il paraissait faible. Après élevage, tout en restant fin, ce 2009 prend de la profondeur et s'ouvre sur une matière vibrante et élégante. Un univers délicat mais très long. » (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau) • Livraison en caisse bois d'origine pour les commandes livrées en France de 6 bouteilles •

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2023 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
This cru has long been famous first for its white wine, one of the most complete in Léognan, then also for its red, at its best one of the most brilliant illustrations of the Pessac-Leognan character. The last decade has seen the return of Fieuzal Blanc to its highest level. The new, ultra-efficient winery, with its many small vats of varying capacities, in concrete, stainless steel or wood, now enables director Stephen Carrier to produce haute-couture.

Rated domain (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
This classified growth, located just south of Léognan, produced some of Bordeaux's finest whites in the 1980s. After being sold to Banque Populaire in 1994, Fieuzal declined until 2001. It was in this year that Irish businessman Lochlann Quinn acquired the estate, then hired Champagne's Stephen Carrier as its director. From that moment on, the vintage returned to an excellent level, with an obvious quest for body, elegance and tannin in the reds, and freshness now with the arrival of consultant Thomas Duclos. With failures (2013) and great successes (2008), the whites are gradually returning to their full, intense, ageable character.
