Chateau de Fieuzal - Chateau de Fieuzal Blanc 2014

ANTONIO GALLONI:"A wine of texture and depth, the 2014 de Fieuzal Blanc is very nicely balanced, with plenty of lime, sage, smoke and sweet spice nuances. A dose of French oak softens the contours and gives the wine its pliant, inviting personality. Tasted two times."

DECANTER: "Contemporary: gentle vanilla note is gourmet not sweet. Lower acidity than some. Nice lemon curd finish, from regular lees stirring. Hubert de Boüard is consultant here. Drinking Window 2018 - 2028"

JAMES SUCKLING:"A dry white with lots of mineral and white-pepper character as well as lightly cooked apples and lemons. Full-bodied, yet this remains agile and lively. Intense finish. Layered and structured. Little oily. Drink now or hold."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER:"The fragrance of freshly peeled grapefruit, lemon rind, green apple, lime and vanilla pop when the wine is poured. Bright, zesty and energetic on the palate, the fruit is sweet, ripe and pure in the finish."

THE WINEADVOCATE:"The Château de Fieuzal Blanc 2014 has an attractive nose: lime mixed with citrus fruit and touches of grilled walnut coming through with aeration. The palate is quite shrill on the entry with attacking lime and citrus scents. The acidity is quite strong here, but there is plenty of fruit and a lovely sense of tension on the finish. This is an excellent Pessac-Léognan from this rejuvenated estate."

WINE ENTHUSIAST:"Spice from wood aging gives this rich wine its great character. It is supported by the tropical and white fruits. It is developing into a ripe full wine, delicious with its acidity and with its tangy aftertaste. Drink from 2022."
