History

Situated at the heart of Bordeaux wine’s historic birthplace, Château de Fieuzal’s vineyards extend across one of Pessac-Leognan’s finest gravel outcrops. This ancient estate is a jewel of the Graves, an appellation whose soils are particularly well suited to the production of fine wines. Although most famous for its white wines, Château de Fieuzal is also recognised for the excellence of its reds, as attested by its Grand Cru Classé status. Since 2001 Fieuzal has been owned by Brenda and Lochlann Quinn, an Irish couple passionate about wine and determined to perpetuate the estate’s unique character. For this reason, the vineyard receives every possible attention that might enable the remarkable terroir to better express itself. Since 2007 a renewed team has been led by the talented young winemaker Stephen Carrier, who works tirelessly and passionately in pursuit of perfection.

Vineyards

The vineyard area consists of 48 hectares, 39 hectares of red vines consisting of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with 33% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot, and 9 hectares of white with equal amounts of Sémillon and Sauvignon blanc.

Wines

Of the Grand vin Château de Fieuzal and the second wine L'Abeille de Fieuzal there is typically a total annual production of 13,000 cases of red wine and 4,000 of dry white.
