Parker about Château de Fieuzal 2023
The 2023 de Fieuzal reflects the estate’s ongoing refinement in matters of ripeness, élevage and extraction, revealing a complex and vibrant bouquet of cassis, mulberries, peony and rose petals, subtly accented by menthol. Medium- to full-bodied, precise and dense, it is crystalline and seamless, layered and finely textured, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, ethereal and floral finish. This is a particularly accomplished rendition that allows both terroir and vintage to speak with clarity and authority.
Suckling over Château de Fieuzal 2023
Very earthy, with ground coffee, elderberries and a thyme-like herbal note. The succulent palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a lovely savory touch in the finish. Better from 2023.

Château de Fieuzal 2023
Château de Fieuzal lies in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in southern Bordeaux and is rooted in gravel and sandy soils with loam elements that ensure good drainage and impart a clear, balanced structure to the wines.
Château de Fieuzal 2023 displays ripe, dark-fruited aromatics with notes of black cherry, plum, and subtle spicy hints. The structure is harmoniously built, with well-integrated tannins that provide grip and length. Acidity lends freshness and keeps the overall impression pure and precise, while a fine mineral note underscores its origin in the gravelly soils.
The 2023 growing season in Pessac-Léognan was warm, yet tempered by local factors such as nearby forests and sufficient soil moisture, leading to even ripening and yielding wines with pure fruit, stable structure, and good freshness.
The wine is composed of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. Château de Fieuzal 2023 is aged in barriques with a moderate to elevated proportion of new oak over a maturation period aimed at balancing fruit, structure, and oak integration.
The wine has good aging potential and already displays a well-balanced structure that will continue to evolve harmoniously over time.
