Chateau de Fieuzal Blanc Pessac Leognan 2023
Country: France Region: Bordeaux
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
Vintage: 2022 Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Chateau de Fieuzal
Description:
The 2023 Blanc from de Fieuzal is another great success this year, exhaling pure aromas of white fruits, white flowers, ripe orchard fruits, menthol and anise. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and broad, it has a delicate, pure mid-palate with chalky dry extract and a long, mouthwatering and saline finish. The aging period in barrels may enhance its mid-palate, potentially making it one of the standout white wines of the vintage. This is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon.

A bright, silery lemon colour with fine citrus, green apple, tarragon and white flowers on the nose. The palate is silky and fine-boned, driven by waves of refreshing acidity. Underlying savoury tones add complexity, but this is all about the textural refinement. It will enjoyable when young.

This is very focused, with good energy and nervy acidity. Medium-bodied with vibrant citrus fruit and crunchy minerality. Firm and tense finish.
