Chateau de Fieuzal Rouge 2022 Case of 6 btl. – Bordeaux 2022

Reseña profesional

With its electric ruby appearance, this Fieuzal 2022 vintage captures the attention at first glance with its brilliance and radiance. The bouquet is initially defined by fresh red fruit notes with terrific intensity and precision. Redcurrant and blackberry, not yet quite ripe, define the first aromas. These are followed by very precise notes of liquorice and spices, adding complexity to the aromatic profile. The attack is both lively and elegant. It then unfolds endlessly, with relative depth at this stage. Light notes of powdered cocoa coat the palate. This wine provokes impatience & desire.

The cumulative rainfall at Château Fieuzal was only 385 millimeters in 2022, compared to 753 millimeters in 2021 and 743 millimeters in 2020. But this did not prevent Stephen Carrier and his team from making a fresh and energetic 2022 de Fieuzal, bursting with aromas of violet, iris, menthol and crunchy wild berries mingled with hints of coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it’s pristinely balanced and beautifully layered, exhibiting a vibrant palate that’s deep, tensile and elegant, concluding with a mouthwateringly mineral finish. This estate is achieving things no one would have thought possible a decade ago.
