The wines of Château de Fieuzal have a distinct allure that is inseparable from the place from which they are grown. Every bottle enables us to share Fieuzal’s unique energy, bringing to life every aspect of our complex terroir in an intense but precise balance. Fieuzal has the intriguing ability to hold one’s attention, by combining flavour and feeling; the senses and the sensual. Extraordinary freshness, naturally provided by our soils, holds the wines together with remarkable tension right to the finish.
Fieuzal white is an enchanting balance between their Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon fruit. Aged for 12 months in French Oak barrels, the wine grows to fill the entire palate whilst providing a teasing combination of zesty, fruity and floral notes.
The style of our 2020 white is unlike any other. There is tension and precision, but also density and a lavish texture that makes this blend quite remarkable at this stage. The nose is rich and dense, with floral overtones that evolve into notes of apricot, white peach, litchi and fresh pineapple. The attack is lively and flattering, and goes on to reveal a backbone of freshness supported by notes of bitter orange and clementine.
2020 Vintage
A mild winter, warm wet spring, and dry summer meant that we harvested earlier than ever before at Fieuzal. We began to see vegetation on the vines than usual, followed by flowering, which occurred in ideal conditions. ‘Veraison’ (the moment when the grapes change colour) was spectacularly precocious, with the vineyard seeming to cry out for a very early harvest.
