The origins of Chateau de Fieuzal date back to the beginning of winemaking in Bordeaux's Graves region, named for its thin, gravel-studded soil.
The estate, which is in the Pessac-Leognan appellation of Graves, sits on one of the best gently sloping, gravel-outcrops in the area - long admired for its excellent drainage and heat diffusing properties. In 1959 Chateau de Fieuza were awarded the official status of Graves Grands Cru Classes wines.
Fieuzal is named after the family who owned the property up to 1851, while the original 16th century name of the estate was Gardres. After the Fieuzal family sold the estate, it was split in two and the halves were named Chteau de Fieuzal and Chteau Haut Gardres. It wasn?t until 1995 that the two estates were finally reunited to form the current Fieuzal vineyards, which now cover some 75 hectares, 10 of which are used to grow white wine grapes.
In 2001 Brenda and Lochlann Quinn, bought Fieuzal. Their goal is to carefully tread the ever-evolving line between continuous technical improvements in winemaking and vine growing, and, maintaining the essential Graves nature of Fieuzal's wines. In 2007 the Quinns hired Stephen Carrier to manage production and he brought with him a blend of classic French winemaking skills and experience of New World techniques. Working closely the Quinns, with their passion for wine, and Carrier, with his rigorous and innovative winemaking style, have together broadened Fieuzal?s reputation as a wine well-worth drinking. The Quinns also brought well-known Bordeaux winemaking consultant, Hubert de Bourd, on board in 2006. De Bourd owns the Saint Emilion estate Chteau Angelus.
The vines, have an approximate average age of 30 years, are planted at a density of 9,000 plants per hectare. Of the Grand vin Château de Fieuzal and the second wine L'Abeille de Fieuzal there is typically a total annual production of 13,000 cases of red wine and 4,000 of dry white
