Tasting Notes

A blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon, the 2022 de Fieuzal Blanc exhibits aromas of spring flowers, lemon oil, al dente pear and peach with flinty hints. Juicy, round and deep, fleshy and fresh with a medium to full-bodied palate, it has a slightly phenolic finish. The aging process should reduce the slight austerity and bring more flesh and substance.

Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate (266), April 2023

A bright grassy nose, with real lift and tang from grapefruit, spice and smoke. Silky and soft on the palate, there is a lanolin character together with bruised peach and pear.
