Chateau de Fieuzal - Chateau de Fieuzal Blanc 2024

WEINWISSER: "70 % Sauvignon Blanc, 30 % Sémillon, 40 hl/ha. Verführerisches Bouquet, frischgepflückter Weingartenpfirsich, Holunderblüten und Zitronenmelisse. Am sublimen Gaumen mit tänzerischer Rasse, guter Fülle, fein pfeffrigem Extrakt und vibrierendem Körper. Im strukturierten, feinaromatischen Finale Schlüsselblume, Mandarinenzeste und edler Kreideton. Gehört in seiner Klasse zu den Besten und ist damit eine sichere Kaufempfehlung."

VINUM: "Mittleres Goldgelb; komplexer Duft, mineralisch geprägt, reife Zitrusfrucht, Mirabellen, Estragon und ein Hauch Vanille; am Gaumen vollmundig, kompakt, cremige Textur, perfekt verpacktes Holz, anregende Säure, baut Druck auf, sehr gut strukturiert, im Abgang mit grossartiger Länge, endet auf salzig und mit zitrischen Rückaromen. Ein hervorragender Fieuzal Blanc."

ANSON: "Medium intensity pale gold colour, beautiful grip and lift on the attack, gentle wash of cloves and gunsmoke, this is super pretty, well placed with lift and pared back white peach and nectarine flesh. A gourmet style of white in the vintage, great quality from estate director Stephen Carrier."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, the 2024 Blanc from de Fieuzal is showing beautifully at this stage. Offering up a complex, elegant bouquet of citrus zest, almond blossoms and Anjou pear, it's medium to full-bodied, sappy and enveloping with a delicate, fleshy core of fruit and a long, phenolic finish. Produced at a healthy yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare, this is a superb wine that reflects the benefits of the estate’s patient approach in this vintage—the harvest began on September eighth and concluded on the 19th, whereas in other vintages, it was wrapped up by the sixth."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2024 Château Fieuzal Blanc is based on 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, showing a classic Bordeaux Blanc style, with gooseberry, minty herbs, and citrus notes. Medium-bodied and pure on the palate, it has a layered texture and fresh, mineral-driven character, with a clean, classy finish."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart nach Vanille und Birne, ein Hauch von Mango, angenehme Tropenfruchtanklänge. Saftig, komplex, feine gelbe Fruchtnoten, finessenreicher Säurebogen, frisch und stoffig, bleibt haften, mineralisch im Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Honeysuckle, pears, green apples, white peaches, and citrus notes shine in the nose, and on the palate. The wine is crisp, juicy, and serves up its blend of green apples and zesty citrus fruits with ease, finishing with bright lemons and crushed stones that show through to the backend. This will be a pleasure to imbibe on release. The wine blends 70% Sauvignon Blanc, with 30% Semillon. 12.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2033."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A fresh and precise white with sweet lemons and some dried mango on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Seductive texture with a succulent and citrusy finish."
