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
2014
2014 started very early after a mild and very wet winter, a rainy spring, and flowering towards the end of May. May and June were fairly dry, then the ‘veraison’ (when the grapes change colour) took place during a rather stormy summer period. Meticulous work was carried out in the vineyard and rewarded by a dry end of the summer, which proved very beneficial for this 2014 vintage.

Tasting notes
The wine has a pale yellow colour with bright tints that mark the freshness that is characteristic of this 2014 vintage. The nose is extremely fine and delicate, revealing notes of green apple, white flowers, hawthorn and peach, with some spicy notes. Everything is subtle, fresh and pure.
