"The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-controlled acidity. Here perhaps more representative of the wine, developing on the palate to a finish with notes of cedar, leaving you on a high note. Hopefully the aromas will develop with time in bottle and it will then deserve an even higher score."

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Some samples are dominated by woodiness, while others reveal a deep, full-bodied wine with a real richness of sap.
About the domain :
For a long time, this cru was 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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers 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 cru returned to an excellent level, with a clear 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.
