Château de Fieuzal - Pessac-Léognan - Rouge - 1995

Wine:

Robert Parker was excited by this 1995: This quintessentially elegant wine reveals an attractive smoky, blackcurrant, mineral and floral-scented nose. There are sweet, ripe, lush flavors, a medium body, ripe tannin, and a velvety texture that borders on opulence. There is no heaviness in this 1995 Chateau de Fieuzal. Moreover, neither the tannin, acidity, nor alcohol are intrusive. This seamless, extremely well made claret is a candidate for early drinking, but it possesses excellent aging potential.

Vinification:

Harvested by hand, 12-18 months' ageing, less than half of which are new.

Palate:

This wine is part of a private collection that has been stored in optimal temperature and hygrometry conditions. Each bottle was appraised by our Master Sommelier and has been very carefully handled by the entire Ventealapropriete team right up to its delivery. This bottle is rare and ephemeral, the result of a long, patient evolution. There can be no exchanges or returns once it has been opened or consumed. Enjoy your tasting!

Temperature:

Serve between 16-18°C. Due to the presence of a deposit, a decanting from one bottle to another may be necessary to further enhance the drinking enjoyment.

Food and wine pairing:

Red meats and mushrooms, grilled beef flank steaks, risotto with woodland mushrooms in a rich brown jus, black truffle dishes and a cheese platter that ideally includes some farmhouse Saint-Nectaire.

Cellar aging:

From now

This estate is synonymous with the production of soft, elegant and refined wines. Delicately crafted, its wines are subtle yet voluptuous. This neatly sums up Château de Fieuzal, located in the heart of the Graves. Its present owner is Irish businessman Lochlann Quinn. This classified growth confirms its excellent level of quality and the reds have been clearly crafted to create body, hold and tannic elegance. Among other things, this has been achieved thanks to the expert advice provided by Hubert de Boüard. The estate has 75 hectares of vines, 10 of which are dedicated to its white wine.
