Chateau de Fieuzal, Rouge Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan

Seller: Vincapitan 5

A brilliant triumph from Pessac-Léognan, the 1989 Château de Fieuzal captures the absolute apex of this legendary, sun-drenched vintage. Under the inspired guidance of Hubert de Bouard and the late Denis Dubourdieu during this golden era for the estate, Fieuzal produced a red of extraordinary richness and aromatic intensity, outperforming many of its higher-classified Graves neighbors. Now at its glorious peak of full maturity, the nose erupts with an intoxicating bouquet of sweet black currant, singed leather, cigar box, crushed gravel, and warm, smoky incense. On the palate, the fruit is lush and velvety, carried by melted tannins and a seamless, supple body that balances rich, sun-ripened depth with signature Pessac minerality. It is a hedonistic, gorgeously evolved classic that showcases 1989 Bordeaux at its absolute finest.
