2018 | Chateau de Fieuzal | Chateau de Fieuzal Blanc

Tropical fruit notions of green guava, fresh pineapple and mango, followed by nuances of yuzu zest, lime leaves and jasmine.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: De Fieuzal's 2018 Blanc bursts with tropical fruit notions of green guava, fresh pineapple and mango, followed by nuances of yuzu zest, lime leaves and jasmine. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic freshness and intensity with loads of citrusy layers, delivered with lovely harmony, finishing on a lingering pineapple note.

• James Suckling: This has a rich, toasty nose of cooked pear, dried pineapple, hazelnut and marmalade. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity. Dense and powerful.

Producer Information

Château de Fieuzal is located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Graves, Bordeaux. It was awarded Graves Grand Cru Classé status for its red wines in 1959 as part of the Graves classification. Château de Fieuzal produces a grand vin rouge and a grand vin blanc; as well as a second wine, L'Abeille de Fieuzal, in both a red and white expression. In the winery, red grapes are fermented in both stainless steel and barrel, before being aged in French oak – the grand vin rouge, which is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot and Cabernet Franc – is aged between 16-24 months depending on vintage; L'Abeille de Fieuzal spends up to a year in barrel. The Château de Fieuzal grand vin blanc, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, is aged in three separate lots; a third in new French oak barrels, a third in older barrels and a third in stainless steel vats. These separate lots are then blended and this cuvée spends a few months in concrete vats before it is bottled and released. L'Abeille de Fieuzal blanc is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle and is made in an easy drinking and more approachable style.
