Tasting notes
The 2019 Château de Fieuzal Blanc has a very lychee/Alsace-like bouquet that is attractive, albeit missing some typicity. The palate is well-balanced with grapefruit and lemon thyme, lightly spiced with good weight. There is some reduction on the finish, though there is satisfying length. Fine, if just a bit "out there" at the moment. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

The 2019 Chateau De Fieuzal Blanc is a solid effort, offering lots of white peach, honeyed orange, and floral notes in a rounded, medium-bodied, fleshy, and impressively textured style. This concentrated, balanced, rich yet still fresh white is going to keep for 7-8 years or so, possibly longer.
A terrific effort, the 2019 de Fieuzal Blanc offers up inviting aromas of nectarine, confit citrus fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with an enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and a saline finish, it's a charming, beautifully balanced wine that punches well above its weight.
