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
Over the years, L’Abeille has developed a strong identity of its own. Crafted with the same careful attention as Château de Fieuzal, it is conceived for light-hearted, easy-going enjoyment. Its fruit stems from the same vines as the first wine, grown with the same degree of care and preserving Fieuzal’s unique combination of freshness and finesse. L’Abeille white is majority Sémillon, giving a generous bouquet of aromas balanced with a touch of crisp indulgence.
Vintage conditions
2015
A mild winter and a very pleasant spring led to perfect flowering. This was followed by a heat wave during the summer - conditions that allowed for slow, gentle ripening and gave birth to berries that were small and rich in concentration.

- Sauvignon Blanc
L'Abeille de Fieuzal: 2015
Tasting notes
The colour is lemon-yellow with green tints. The nose is expressive and pleasing with a fine intensity. There are dominant fresh fruit aromas of Granny Smith apples, William pears, white peaches and a delicate touch of vanilla from the oak. In the mouth, the wine is powerful and present, with a touch of bitterness. The finish is long and vivacious.
