Critic reviews
"The 2025 de Fieuzal, harvested between September 4 and 26, is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. It wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, mulberries, wisteria and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and precise, it’s built around a fleshy core of fruit framed by velvety, finely grained tannins and concludes with a long, ethereal and perfumed finish. More structured than usual, it remains well balanced, supported by lively acidity and a subtle, gastronomic bitterness on the finish. It's a classical expression and one of the more compelling values in Bordeaux this year."

"The 2025 Château de Fieuzal has an understated bouquet with red berry fruit, sous-bois and light marine scents that gradually opens up with aeration. I would have liked to have seen more vigour in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an edgy opening. More herbaceous than expected, it almost seems there was a bit of stem addition à la Les Carmes! It does cohere a little in the glass, so I am intrigued to see how it shows in bottle, though I remain prudent with my score for now."

"This is medium- to full-bodied with linear acidity and notes of green apples and peaches alongside a subtle textural element. It shows charming balance between concentration and freshness."

"Grilled cedar and sandalwood, characterful damson fruits, with some of the squid ink salinity that is such a lovely marker of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Harvest September 4 to 26. Quinn family owners."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"I enjoyed this wine, as it shows vibrant aromatics of passion fruit and lifted tropical notes, kept fresh by a zesty citrus edge. The palate opens with a bright lemon–lime attack, leading to a smooth, ripe mid–palate where the fruit remains expressive without becoming heavy or flat. An impressive and characterful white Bordeaux. "

"(Pessac-Léognan; 70% Sauvignon Blanc; 30% Sémillon; 13% alcohol; tasted at the UGCB tasting at the Cité du Vin). Up there in the upper echelons of the appellation where it belongs once again, this is a very fine showing from Stephen Carrier and his team at de Fieuzal. A wine that is essential and energising in its freshness, with a lovely balance and harmony, a gentle hint of spice and a long and razor-sharp finish with the ascent on blood orange and orange blossom. Beautifully shaped, opulent but never overly rich. I somehow knew he'd pull it off - he has! "
