    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Lochlann Quinn is a prominent Irish businessman and dedicated philanthropist known for his strong support of Irish education and the arts. A true bon viveur with a passion for fine food and wine, Quinn acquired Château de Fieuzal in 2001. Situated in Pessac-Léognan - the historic cradle of Bordeaux - Fieuzal stands as one of Graves’ oldest and largest Grands Crus. Continuing the legacy of the seven families before them, the estate focuses heavily on preserving its prized terroir to craft renowned, elegant whites and opulent reds.

    The property's second wine, L'Abeille de Fieuzal, is produced in both red and white styles. Crafted from young Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc vines grown on exceptional clay-limestone soils, the white expression is overseen by talented winemaker Stephen Carrier. His meticulous, eco-friendly approach includes hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation with native yeasts, and 12 months of lees aging in 225-liter oak barrels.
