2019 Chateau de Fieuzal Pessac-Leognan Blanc 'Grand Vin de Graves'

Product description

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.

Entirely rebuilt in 2011, Fieuzal owns today new winemaking facilities with concrete, stainless and wooden vats, which allows to adapt to each vintage and each grape varieties.Extremely involved into environment, Fieuzal is steering towards an organic farming since 2016.

The foundations of these wines are built on two grape selections, the Sauvignon – very often the dominating grape – and Sémillion, easy to maintain and ripen in the poor soils of the Graves with its sandy and chalky nature.The Sauvignon brings structure, freshness and fruitiness, often with a faint reminder of a smell similar to Muscat.   The Sémillion offers a body of unique aromas of candied fruit.
The next phase, mastering fermentation allowing the expression of the fruit and the raising in barrels made from oak (for 6-12 months) suspended on lees and stirred for the first few months to obtain body and to reveal the best tastes.
