Château de Fieuzal Blanc 2021 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fresh, fruity and reveals good definition, a fine volume, a nice finesse/precision in its volume as well as a subtle almost smoky hint of the grease. There are notes of fleshy vine peach, lychee and more slightly quenette combined with touches of white flowers, a hint of passion fruit as well as fine saline notes, discreet vanilla notes and an imperceptible almost acacia flower note. The palate is fruity, balanced and reveals a nice acidic structure, gourmandize, sapidity, good acidity, tension, stretch, finesse, energy and a fine pulpiness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of tart quenette, lychee and more lightly zest combined with a touch of yuzu, kumquat, hints of passion fruit, fine saline notes as well as subtle hints of gunflint and almond. Nice salinity and definition on the palate. A wine that is all finesse and attention to detail! Good length.
