Tasting Notes

The 2016 de Fieuzal Blanc has a well defined bouquet of citrus fruit infused with hints of nutmeg and walnut. The palate is well balanced with a smooth, almost peachy opening. This is not a complex de Fieuzal Blanc, but there is a tempting richness and generosity that keeps you hooked. One of the most seductive of the white Pessac-Léognans this vintage.

Score: 91

The De Fieuzal 2016 Blanc has a rich, tropical tinged bouquet with scents of guava, pineapple and mango, nicely defined and probably one of the most commercially minded dry white bordeaux. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, with subtle notes of orange rind and nectarine dovetailing into a lightly spiced, stem ginger finish. Certainly this is one of the better examples of its kind this year.

Score: 90 - 92

More obviously rich than some, majoring on toasted hazelnut aromas. It has done its level best to fatten things up in a tough vintage for whites, and manages to do so extremely well, but it can't quite pull off the true minerality of the best vintages. This is well handled though, showing lovely rich citrus flavours accompanied by rosemary and cold ash, with a mouthwatering finish.

Score: 92

A rich and dense white with a creamy texture defined by flavors of cooked apples and pears with lots of stones as well. Full and flavorful. Big wine here. Perhaps not the 2015 but excellent nonetheless.

Score: 93 - 94

Focused, with a pretty mix of white peach, macadamia nut and yellow apple flavors harnessed by a light fennel frond hint on the finish.

Score: 89 - 92
