L' Abeille de Fieuzal - Pessac-Léognan 2013 (750ml)
L' Abeille de Fieuzal Description
Fieuzal’s 10 hectares of white vines are planted with the traditional grape varieties of Sauvignon, Sémillon and muscadelle. The clay-limestone soil found in these plots helps to preserve the fresh tastes and aromas of the white grapes.
At harvest time the grapes are collected into crates and sent directly to the press to keep the juice as cool and fresh as possible, ready for low temperature fermentation in stainless steel vats.
Château de fieuzal’s whites are remarkably balanced and typically carry aromas of citrus fruit, white peach and apricot. After several years of aging, nutty notes can be detected. The estate’s best Sauvignon is recognised for the very precise, crisp structure it gives Fieuzal’s wines.
With time, the texture of the whites soften and round out, becoming silky and rich without losing their delicate aromas. Depending on the vintage, Château de fieuzal’s whites can spend up to 10 years maturing in the bottle.
