Château de Fieuzal Red 2022: the elegance of a Graves Grand Cru Classé

The Château de Fieuzal Red 2022 is a fine expression of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region. Classified amongst the Grands Crus Classés of Graves, this red wine showcases the expertise of an estate renowned for its precise, elegant and complex wines. Its blend combines three iconic Bordeaux grape varieties: 50 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, 45 per cent Merlot and 5 per cent Petit Verdot.

The Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure, freshness and aromatic depth. The Merlot contributes to the wine’s roundness and fruitiness, whilst the Petit Verdot enriches the whole with its spicy character. The 2022 vintage reveals an expressive bouquet of fresh red fruits, redcurrant and blackberry, complemented by hints of liquorice and spices. With aeration, the wine gradually unveils its full complexity.

On the palate, the Château de Fieuzal Red 2022 combines a lively attack with a structured and balanced body. The fine tannins complement an elegant texture, whilst the freshness preserves the wine’s precision. The lingering finish reveals spicy and cocoa notes. Ageing in oak barrels, some of which are new, helps to harmonise the various elements without masking the expression of the fruit.

This fine red wine from Pessac-Léognan is the perfect accompaniment to a grilled rib of beef, an entrecôte with shallots, a roast rack of lamb or a slow-cooked dish. To fully appreciate its aromas, serve it at around 16 to 18 °C, after allowing it to breathe properly.

Château de Fieuzal 2022 will appeal to lovers of characterful Bordeaux wines; it can be enjoyed now, once decanted, or cellared to follow its development.
