James Suckling
This harks back to the wonderful vintages of white Fieuzal from the 1980s. Mineral, dried citrus, sliced green apple and chalk. Full body, with bright acidity and a long racy finish. A beauty.
Barrel Sample: 94-95 Points -
Wine Enthusiast
A big, fruity wine that manages to balance its ripe tropical-fruit flavors with notes of spice and grapefruit. It has weight and is still settling down. Concentrated and intense.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points -

Wine Spectator
A soft, full style, with a hint of pear backing mouthwatering kaffir lime and kiwifruit notes. Features a quinine streak on the finish. Barrel Sample: 89-92 Points.
Located in the heart of the Graves, the cradle of Bordeaux winemaking, Chateau de Fieuzal takes its name from the family to which it belonged until 1851. This Graves great growth, now owned by Brenda and Lochlann Quinn, is famous for its elegant white wines and opulent red wines.
Great care is taken to make the most of Chateau de Fieuzal's terrior in order to produce excellent wines as well as to protect the remarkably diverse natual environment. In keeping with demanding French standards of luxury craftsmanship, all work in the vinyeard and cellar is done both meticulously and traditionally. The vines are looked after on an individual basis and closely followed in order to obtain fruit that reflects the excellence of this unique terroir.
