William Kelley
The 2021 de Fieuzal Blanc shows considerable potential, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crisp nectarine, mint, pasty cream, citrus oil and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and tensile, with tangy acids, chalky dry extract and a long, saline finish, it will be bottled under Diam 30. This Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blend is rapidly establishing itself as one of Bordeaux`s most interesting dry white wines. Tasted three times. 92-94 points
Neal Martin
The 2021 Château de Fieuzal Blanc has a lovely lime, white peach and orange pith bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is well balanced, with pear, red apple and orange peel on the entry, fine depth, and good acidity and bite on the finish. Promising. 90-92 points

Gorgeous depth here, saline grip, hints of salted caramel adds to the rich mouthfeel. Welcome fresh acidities of crab apple, lemongrass and citrus zest give a sense of contrast and momentum, as does the slate texure that draws out the finish. Tasted twice. 93 points
