Château de Fieuzal 2020 – Pessac-Léognan (white)

The nose is fruity and offers gourmandize, a certain richness (in finesse), elegance, deepness, a nice definition as well as a small aerial richness/ continued richness. It reveals notes of lemon, crushed vine peach, small notes of bright apple associated with touches of zests, quenette, small exotic fruits, hints of gunpowder, white flower as well as a discreet hint of lemon flower and an imperceptible hint of nearly saline/nearly salty fat/smoked. The mouth is fruity, elegant, chiseled all in control and offers a nice acidulous frame, gourmandize, roundness, a certain richness (in straightness/juiciness), precision, a stretched side, a nice finesse in its fat/richness, freshness, justness as well as a nice balance. An aerial character in the balances and matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of lemon, zests, small notes of kumquat associated with touches of crunchy/acidulous vine peach, mandarin, iodized gravel as well as fine hints of white flower, a discreet hint of acacia, lemon flower and an imperceptible hint of toasted almond (in the background). Good length and persistence.
