Description
Jean Rijckaert’s approach is simple: he wants to make wines that he likes without succumbing to fashions or the wishes of customers. Similarly, he refuses to make his wines competition beasts: his bottles are there to be drunk and not exhibited.
On the winemaking side, we can note that in this Chardonnay enthusiast, fermentations are done without the addition of yeast, that there can be a slight correction of the alcoholic strength, that sulphites are added as needed and that finally, filtration is not systematically rejected. Fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels, with always a small proportion of new ones .

Château de Fieuzal, L’Abeille de Fieuzal Rouge, Bordeaux, 2019
Over the years, L’Abeille has developed a strong identity of its own. Crafted with the same careful attention as Château de Fieuzal, it is conceived for light-hearted, easy-going enjoyment. Its fruit stems from the same vines as the first wine, grown with the same degree of care and preserving Fieuzal’s unique combination of freshness and finesse. L’Abeille red is majority Merlot, therefore delicately smooth whilst being juicy, fruity, and full of character.
Château La Prade, Côtes de Francs 2015
The 2015 Chateau La Prade is a great wine to enjoy and completely over delivers for the price. Overflowing with rich, dark fruits enveloped in satiny smooth tannins, this is an easy wine to pick for your Tuesday night drinker. As you probably know by now, 2015 in Bordeaux was an exceptional vintage with well ripened fruit and exceptional balance and freshness. The beauty of the vintage is the quality extends from the higher priced Classified Growths and Grand Cru Classe's to the more reasonably priced wines. A perfect example is this wine from Chateau La Prade which received a 92 Point score from James Suckling."
