Château de Fieuzal Rouge 2025 is a Cabernet-led Pessac-Léognan with freshness and precision at the centre of the style. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, harvested between 4 and 26 September.
The nose shows pure blackcurrant fruit with subtle notes of white pepper and light spice. On the palate, the texture is silky at first before tightening into a finer, more powdery structure, with the freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon carrying the wine through a long finish.
Fieuzal is owned by the Quinn family and farmed with a strong environmental focus. The estate holds HVE 3 and ISO 14001 certifications, alongside Bee Friendly certification recognising biodiversity work in and around the vineyard.
Winemaker Stephen Carrier describes the 2025 as a wine of aromatic purity and balance, combining ripe fruit with freshness and precision rather than sheer weight.
