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."

"A well-rounded, supple and fruity red. Medium-bodied with melty tannins. Juicy and velvety, with red fruit character and a delicious finish."

"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
"Ripe red and blackberry fruit aromas introduce a palate with freshening acidity that in this case enhances the impression of juicy, succulent fruit, not hard tannins. The finish is long and flavorful, reinforcing the wine’s balance between ripeness and energy, making it a compelling en primeur showing. A second tasting at Château Olivier the same day found the wine a touch tighter and more reserved, but the underlying quality and harmony remain clear."

"(Pessac-Léognan; 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% Merlot; 10% Petit Verdot; 13.5% alcohol; tasted at the UGCB press tasting at the Cité du Vin). This is very pure and aerial, with a lovely Pessac smokiness, but only very subtly present - like the plume from an extinguished candle rather than that from a barbecue! Sombre, almost haunting in its dark berry fruitedness, with just a little black cherry and that redolent graphite of de Fieuzal. Saline in its minerality and reassuring cool at the plungepool core, this is very beautiful and beguiling. A great success."
