William Kelley
An attractive blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2021 de Fieuzal offers up aromas of plums and raspberries mingled with hints of rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, ample and polished, it`s a supple, seamless wine with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and impressive length on the finish. Congratulations to winemaker Stephen Carrier and consultant Thomas Duclos for this compelling Pessac. Tasted three times. 91-93 points
Neal Martin
The 2021 Château de Fieuzal has a fresh nose of black cherries, blueberry and violet scents, plus a touch of melted tar. The palate is fresh on the entry with slightly chalky tannins, attenuating just a little toward the finish. Fine salinity, though not a long-term de Fieuzal. 88-90 points

Peat, grilled cedar, liquorice, raspberry leaf and reducrrant fruit. Creamy texture as it opens, with precision and fine floral character to the aromatics, but the tannins are closed in tight on the finish, and it will benefit from picking up weight through the mid palate over ageing. Harvest September 18 to 29. Tasted twice. 91 points
