Château de Fieuzal

Château de Fieuzal is a significant Graves property that now has a reputation for producing both red and white wines of extremely high quality. De Fieuzal was bought by Swedish-born Erik Bocké after the end of the war and he was responsible for building up the Château's reputation which culminated in it being classified as a Graves Cru Classé in 1959.

His son-in-law Gérard Gribelin took over in 1974 and further modernised the property by installing stainless steel fermentation tanks and by raising the proportion of new barrels used in the maturation process. In 1994 De Fieuzal was bought by Fructivie, a French insurance company.

De Fieuzal is located in the south of the Léognan commune and the 65 hectares of vineyards occupy a fine gravel ridge, which affords excellent drainage. The red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (33%), Cabernet Franc (4.5%) and Petit Verdot (2.5 %). The white is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (50%) and Sémillon (50%).
