Château de Fieuzal has long been one of Pessac-Léognan's most reliable and underappreciated Cru Classé estates, consistently producing wines that punch well above their weight and reward those savvy enough to seek them out. The 2023 vintage has announced itself with authority, earning 95+ points from the Wine Advocate — a score that places it firmly among the finest wines of the appellation in this celebrated vintage, and a plus sign that suggests the wine's full potential is still unfolding. Classic Pessac-Léognan in every sense — smoky, earthy, and deeply satisfying — this is a serious Bordeaux at a price that still makes sens
95+ Points
"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."
