Chateau De Fieuzal Grand Cru Classe de Graves Pessac-Leognan 2022 i trækasse

"The 2022 Château De Fieuzal is brilliant, and this estate deserves more attention in the market today. Ripe red and black fruits, spring flowers, leafy tobacco, and loamy earth all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel and a great finish. I love its overall balance, and this could be a real superstar in the vintage." - Jeb Dunnuck

"A crunchy and energetic wine from here this year with black berry, black cherry and crushed stone character. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and a fine tannin background." - James Suckling

"In the vintage of 2022, while most were increasing the proportion of Merlot, Château de Fieuzal chose to enhance the Cabernet Sauvignon component to 50%. Intriguingly, more Cabernet didn't amplify the concentration, instead, it introduced a hint of refreshing clarity. The ever-present hallmark of Fieuzal is the aromatic charm of juicy fruit - a single glass seems to contain a hundred pounds of cherry juice and twice as much strawberry. With a swirl of the glass, the notes of rhubarb jam and pine resin become increasingly distinct, making it delightfully drinkable even at the En Primeurs stage." - Alexandre Ma

"Flowers, cigar wrapper, pepper, cedar, cocoa, spice, and red with black currants open the nose. On the medium-bodied palate, initially you notice the freshness in the ripe, sweet, cherries, with their elegance, lift and purity. There is a symmetry, and vibrancy in the fruits, finishing with a shot of licorice, cocoa, and plums that stick with you. The wine blends 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. 13.2% ABV. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2025-2045." - The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve

"The cumulative rainfall at Château Fieuzal was only 385 millimeters in 2022, compared to 753 millimeters in 2021 and 743 millimeters in 2020. But this did not prevent Stephen Carrier and his team from making a fresh and energetic 2022 de Fieuzal, bursting with aromas of violet, iris, menthol and crunchy wild berries mingled with hints of coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it's pristinely balanced and beautifully layered, exhibiting a vibrant palate that's deep, tensile and elegant, concluding with a mouthwateringly mineral finish. This estate is achieving things no one would have thought possible a decade ago" - Robert Parker
