Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 87
Just as I commented from barrel, the 2018 Château de Fieuzal Blanc has a pleasant green apple and pear nose, but what it really lacks is vigor. The palate is well balanced with a citrus opening and notes of white peach and clementine. Nicely focused, with a tang of marmalade and ginger toward the finish. I just wish the aromatics would pull up their bootstraps.

De Fieuzal’s 2018 Blanc bursts with tropical fruit notions of green guava, fresh pineapple and mango, followed by nuances of yuzu zest, lime leaves and jasmine. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic freshness and intensity with loads of citrusy layers, delivered with lovely harmony, finishing on a lingering pineapple note.
