"This 90-hecatre estate in Pessac-Léognan is undergoing a renaissance in the hands of winemaker Stephen Carrier and consultant Thomas Duclos ... In short, de Fieuzal is an estate to watch." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
The above quote from William Kelley truly captures the sentiment around this hidden gem estate in Pessac-Léognan. In a Left Bank appellation known for pushing quality and value to new levels, Château de Fieuzal is hitting all the marks lately, as evidenced by today's line-up of recent releases.
The estate's red is a sub-$50 home-run hitter every year, and that kind of consistency is on display in the 2019, 2020, and 2022 vintages, the latter of which "shines for its balance and purity" per Jeb Dunnuck and was deserving of 96 points from Yohan Castaing ofWine Advocate. Not to be overlooked, the 2020 is also "a medium to full-bodied, seamless, layered wine " that has racked up impressive accolades from across the critical space for its "great mix of richness and elegance."
Finally, like any great Pessac estate, de Fieuzal's white wines are some of the best in Bordeaux, and the two vintages on offer today each boast an impressive critical line that tops off at 95 points. If you're a savvy Bordeaux enthusiast who's been looking for your next great discovery, you've found one in Château de Fieuzal.
The 2023 de Fieuzal reflects the estate’s ongoing refinement in matters of ripeness, élevage and extraction, revealing a complex and vibrant bouquet of cassis, mulberries, peony and rose petals, subtly accented by menthol. Medium- to full-bodied, precise and dense, it is crystalline and seamless, layered and finely textured, framed by powdery tannins and concluding with a long, ethereal and floral finish. This is a particularly accomplished rendition that allows both terroir and vintage to speak with clarity and authority.

Another beautiful wine in the vintage that I’d love to have in the cellar, the 2023 Château De Fieuzal offers cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and subtle leafy herbs as well as tobacco nuances on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and integrated acidity. The quality here continues to soar, and this is a beautiful, elegant wine that will keep for two decades. Drink 2026-2045.

Deep plum colour, this is vibrant and full of character, brambled fruit, we are in full hedgerow charm here, juicy, savoury, a ton of intensity and salinity. Chocolate, salted cracker, grip. Single point upscore.

Very earthy, with ground coffee, elderberries and a thyme-like herbal note. The succulent palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a lovely savory touch in the finish. Better from 2023.

Ripe and heady, this is full of gloss and richness but also a juicy core. Still a bit compact with lashings of liquorice, clove spice and chocolate. Ends minty and cool, very long. On the punchier side but plenty to like. Give this a few years.
93 points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter (Jan 2026)
