Description

Château de Fieuzal, located in Bordeaux's Pessac-Léognan appellation, is renowned for producing wines that exemplify the region's distinctive characteristics. The 1989 vintage, now over three decades old, showcases the estate's commitment to quality and the unique terroir of Graves.

Tasting Notes

The 1989 Château de Fieuzal has evolved gracefully over the years, offering a complex bouquet and palate. Tasting notes highlight its ruby color with a garnet rim, accompanied by aromas of blueberries, figs, minerals, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it presents fresh acidity, ripe tannins, and flavors of anise, blueberries, and spices, leading to a long finish.

Another tasting note describes the wine as having beautiful tertiary aromas of mushrooms, cigar box, and espresso, with balsamic notes on the palate, suggesting it is at its peak and should be consumed soon.

Serving Suggestions

When serving a mature wine like the 1989 Château de Fieuzal, it's advisable to decant gently to separate any sediment and allow the wine to breathe, enhancing its complex aromas and flavors. Serving at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F) will best showcase its nuances. This aged Bordeaux pairs excellently with dishes like roast lamb, duck confit, or aged cheeses, complementing its evolved flavor profile.

In summary, the 1989 Château de Fieuzal offers a unique opportunity to experience a mature Pessac-Léognan wine, reflecting both the vintage's characteristics and the estate's dedication to quality during that era.
