Château de Fieuzal 2025

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. Drinking window: 2030-2044.
