Château De Fieuzal – Pessac Leognan, Graves grand cru classe.
Fieuzal creates wines that are memories of the past and that can be kept and enjoyed at any moment. Our winemaker Stephen Carrier believes that there is no ‘right’ time to drink a wine, but that instead a truly great wine is great throughout the whole of its lifetime.
🏞️ Vineyards & Terroir
The vine density of the Chateau de Fieuzal vineyards is on average, 8,300 vines per hectare. The vineyard has a terroir of gravel, sand, clay, and small white stones in the soils. One of the unique aspects of their terroir is the Eau Blanche stream, which adds much-needed moisture in the hot, dry vintages. The best parts of the vineyards are on sloping hillsides that reach up to 58 meters at their peak.
🍇 Grape Varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon (~50%), Merlot (~37%), Cabernet Franc (~5%), Petit Verdot (~8%)
🌱 Viticulture
Chateau de Fieuzal completed a multi-million Euro renovation of the estate in 2012. The winemaking facilities have been completely modernized with 63 vats in both wood and stainless steel. These 63 vats allow parcel by parcel vinification.
🍷 Wine Style
State-of-the-art gravity-fed winery (built in 2014 by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte). Micro-vinification by parcel in small temperature-controlled vats. Aged 16–18 months in French oak barrels, ~50% new. Gentle extraction, precision, and purity are key winemaking principles. Château Pédesclaux produces refined Pauillac wines that blend power and elegance, with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, violet, and subtle spice. The tannins are fine and structured, and the wines offer freshness, depth, and impressive aging potential.
