Tasting Notes

Excellent quality in bottle as it was En Primeur, showing grip and lift without sacrificing fleshy fruit and poised, carved green apple, pear and stone fruit character with salted caramel and toasted cracker on the singoff. Easy to recommend. Bottled under Diam cork.

Score: 93

Lovely finish to this polished and fine-tannined Fieuzal with red fruit, medium body and a juicy finish.

Score: 91 - 92

Dark crimson. Some suggestion of ripe black fruit on the nose – amazingly! Gentle, easy, almost soft(!) wine. It doesn’t seem desperately ambitious in terms of longevity but it’s sweet and well balanced. You could almost drink this particular sample tonight! Not a very serious wine but a pleasant drink.

Score: 15+

The 2021 Château de Fieuzal has a fresh nose of black cherries, blueberry and violet scents, plus a touch of melted tar. The palate is fresh on the entry with slightly chalky tannins, attenuating just a little toward the finish. Fine salinity, though not a long-term de Fieuzal.

Score: 88 - 90

An attractive blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2021 de Fieuzal offers up aromas of plums and raspberries mingled with hints of rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, ample and polished, it's a supple, seamless wine with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and impressive length on the finish. Congratulations to winemaker Stephen Carrier and consultant Thomas Duclos for this compelling Pessac. Tasted three times.

Score: 91 - 93

The 2021 Château De Fieuzal is a broad, medium to full-bodied, wonderfully pure barrel sample offering lots of red and black fruits, notes of flowers and herbs, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It should be an outstanding wine as well, and while it shows the fresher style of the vintage, it brings plenty of ripeness.

Score: 90 - 92
