Chateau de Fieuzal Pessac-Leognan 2010

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot

Fieuzal red is a delightfully complex blend of multiple grape varieties, authentically expressing the vineyard’s incredible diversity. Aged for an average of 12 months in French Oak barrels, the wine is elegant, confidently expressive and dynamic throughout the whole of its lifetime. Offers a rare purity and tension from beginning to end, which offsets its remarkable concentration. Balance, elegance and depth are the words which come to mind at the moment to describe this wine.

The colour is deep and tense, with a seductive bright purple light. The aromas and flavours are discreet and elegant with hints of pepper and vanilla, carried by a framework of fresh fruit including red currant, black currant and blackberries. In the mouth the wine is rich with a robust, tight velvety attack, followed by a remarkably rich tannic structure, a lasting freshness and good length.
