Adalia Amarone Della Valpolicella 2018 - Camerani

The Abeille de Fieuzal 2019 is an exceptional second wine from the renowned Château Fieuzal in Bordeaux’s Pessac-Léognan appellation. Crafted with the same attention to detail as its flagship wine, this red offers an elegant introduction to the quality and finesse that the estate is known for, without compromising on character or complexity.

In the 2019 vintage, Abeille de Fieuzal opens with a vibrant and expressive bouquet of ripe red and black fruits—blackberry, cherry, and cassis—complemented by subtle notes of tobacco, cedar, and a light touch of earthy spice. The wine’s aromatic profile is fresh and inviting, with the influence of its terroir adding an extra layer of depth.

On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a refined texture. The fruit flavors are ripe and balanced, with the addition of hints of vanilla, a touch of graphite, and a gentle smokiness from oak aging. The acidity is lively, giving the wine freshness and structure, while the finish is smooth, with lingering notes of black fruit and a soft mineral edge.

The Abeille de Fieuzal 2019 is a fantastic expression of Pessac-Léognan, combining approachability with the potential to age gracefully. It is a perfect match for a wide variety of dishes, from roasted meats and grilled steaks to hard cheeses and charcuterie.

Whether enjoyed now or over the next few years, Abeille de Fieuzal 2019 is a wine that offers a refined, high-quality Bordeaux experience at a more accessible price point, reflecting the estate’s rich heritage and commitment to excellence.
