FZ: A living heritage
Constant evolution
Fieuzal creates wines that are memories of the past that can be kept and enjoyed at any moment. After 30 years of winemaking experience, our winemaker Stephen Carrier believes that there is no ‘right’ time to drink a wine, but that instead a truly great wine is great throughout the whole of its lifetime.
From the moment a new vine is planted to the many decades after a wine is put into bottle – every moment in between is just part of an exciting journey that keeps wines and the art of winemaking alive.
White
The wines of Château de Fieuzal have a distinct allure that is inseparable from the place from which they are grown. Every bottle enables us to share Fieuzal's unique energy, bringing to life every aspect of our complex terroir in an intense but precise balance. Fieuzal has the intriguing ability to hold one’s attention, by combining flavour and feeling; the senses and the sensual. Extraordinary freshness, naturally provided by our soils, holds the wines together with remarkable tension right to the finish. Fieuzal white is an enchanting balance between our Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon fruit. Aged for 12 months in French Oak barrels, the wine grows to fill the entire palate whilst providing a teasing combination of zesty, fruity and floral notes.
Vintage conditions

A mild winter, an early bud-break, a 'British' spring and then a dry summer and classic 'Indian Summer' autumn period all helped to enhance the quality of our berries. In a sentence, these were the Fieuzal 2019 vintage conditions.
- Sauvignon Blanc
- Sémillon

Tasting notes
The nose is complex, a mix between the freshness of lemon zest and the generosity of apricot and mango. There is a very fine harmony. In the mouth, the wine is extremely rich, with remarkable length marked by the freshness that is specific to our terroir, which allows for wonderful acidity even in hot vintages.
