Fieuzal's reds, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc and Petit-Verdot, are planted on 65
hectares of the estate. Most of the red vines are planted on three gravelly hilltops, called Fieuzal, La Dispute and Ferbos. The texture of these hilltop soils and their vegetative layer, favour the growth of smaller, more concentrated grapes.
A portion of the wine is aged in new oak barrels for a
period of between 12 and 18 months. Decisions about the
length of time and the portion of new oak used are, as
ever, made with the aim of keeping texture, fruit and
finesse of each vintage perfectly balanced.

The 2021 de Fieuzal, a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, has an expressive, sensual bouquet with aromas of blackberries, blackcurrant, rose, licorice and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and refined, pure and crystalline, it’s perfectly balanced with a sapid, tense and ethereal finish. Gourmand and charming, this is a superb rendition of sandy, gravelly soils. Keep it over the next decade.
