2023 de Fieuzal Blanc (Pessac-Leognan)

Kicks off with slate grip that it maintains through the palate, quickly filled out with stone fruits, sage and fresh cut herbs. High spice translates into a touch of heat on the finish. 92 points

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% Semillon. 93-95 points
