It was awarded Graves Grand Cru Classé status for its red wines in 1959 as part of the Graves classification. Château de Fieuzal produces a grand vin rouge and a grand vin blanc; as well as a second wine, L'Abeille de Fieuzal, in both a red and white expression. In the winery, red grapes are fermented in both stainless steel and barrel, before being aged in French oak – the grand vin rouge, which is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot and Cabernet Franc – is aged between 16-24 months depending on vintage; L'Abeille de Fieuzal spends up to a year in barrel. The Château de Fieuzal grand vin blanc, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, is aged in three separate lots; a third in new French oak barrels, a third in older barrels and a third in stainless steel vats. These separate lots are then blended and this cuvée spends a few months in concrete vats before it is bottled and released. L'Abeille de Fieuzal blanc is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle and is made in an easy drinking and more approachable style. The estate vineyards are planted on soils of gravel, clay and sand encompassing around 75 hectares (185 acres) of land. Vineyards are planted to a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle. The vines are, on average, 35 years old; the Petit Verdot plantings are the oldest and some date back to 1908. Château de Fieuzal is named after the family that owned the property until 1851. After the family sold the estate it was broken up into two separate châteaux. It wasn't untill 1995 that the estates were reunified. In 2006 famed Bordeaux winemaker Hubert de Bouärd of Château Angelus came to Château de Fieuzal as a consultant winemaker. Alongside the current owners, de Bouärd has developed and updated the winery and vineyards, culminating in the opening of the new winery in 2011. Since 2007 the estate has been overseen by director and winemaker Stephen Carrier.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-21T10:18:44-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-20T15:33:47-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK180324","Other_Wine","Producer_Château de Fieuzal","Region_Pessac-Leognan","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":696300,"price_min":696300,"price_max":696300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44521250095242,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1997 | Château de Fieuzal | Pessac-Leognan","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":696300,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_52670a08-9369-41fb-aaaa-a4ea8dfd52a8.png?v=1710963342"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_52670a08-9369-41fb-aaaa-a4ea8dfd52a8.png?v=1710963342","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1997 | Château de Fieuzal | Pessac-Leognan at CaskCartel.com","id":26526545608842,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.267,"height":600,"width":160,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_52670a08-9369-41fb-aaaa-a4ea8dfd52a8.png?v=1710963342"},"aspect_ratio":0.267,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_52670a08-9369-41fb-aaaa-a4ea8dfd52a8.png?v=1710963342","width":160}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1997 | Château de Fieuzal | Pessac-Leognan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château de Fieuzal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1997\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Pessac-Leognan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nChâteau de Fieuzal is located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Graves, Bordeaux.
