About the Wine

Château de Fieuzal is one of the historic classified estates of Graves, located in the heart of Pessac-Léognan just south of the city of Bordeaux.

The estate is renowned for producing both exceptional red and white wines from deep gravel soils that provide perfect drainage and allow Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve outstanding ripeness while preserving freshness and structure.

The 2019 Rouge is typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Careful vineyard management, low yields and meticulous winemaking result in a wine that is both approachable in its youth and capable of ageing gracefully for decades.

The 2019 vintage is considered one of Bordeaux's modern classics, producing wines with exceptional purity, concentration and balance.

Food Pairings

Perfect with:

• Roast lamb
• Beef Wellington
• Dry-aged rib-eye
• Duck breast
• Roast pork
• Mushroom risotto
• Mature Comté or aged Cheddar

Cellaring

Already drinking beautifully with extended decanting, the 2019 Château de Fieuzal Rouge will continue to develop over the next 20–25 years.
