Château de Fieuzal 2014 Pessac-Léognan (75cl)

A red wine from Château de Fieuzal, 2014, from Pessac-Léognan. The estate sits in Pessac-Léognan, an area known for gravelly soils, and usually blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot. Wines from here tend to show a more savoury, mineral character than reds from further north in the Médoc. It is suggested with a roast or grilled meats, or as a gift for someone who enjoys Bordeaux with a slightly earthy edge. Pessac-Léognan reds like this typically show blackcurrant and plum fruit alongside smoky, graphite-like minerality, with firm but ripe tannins.
