One of the top estates for dry white wines, now owned by the Quinn family, De Fieuzal’s 2012 has a light greenish/gold color and a beautiful nose of caramelized tropical fruits, fig, grapefruit and orange oil. It is crisp, lush, and best drunk over the next 10 years. Drink 2015-2025.
Tasted from a barrel sample at en primeur. The de Fieuzal Blanc has a lifted, perfumed bouquet with touches of dried orange peel and apricot blossom that are well defined and vigorous, perhaps leaning slightly to the New World (though there is nothing wrong with that.) The palate is well balanced with crisp green fruit, lemongrass and orange zest that builds to a vibrant, satisfying finish. This is a superb white from the estate. Tasted April 2013.
This white really shows Fieuzal as it used to be with a lemon, mineral and apple character. Full body, with fresh acidity and a clean finish. Bright and beautiful. Delicious already.
Very clarified. Very exotic and rich on the nose. Napa Valley rides again! Broad, almost oily. A potentially divisive wine. Too rich and jujube for some, I would imagine. Sweetish but fun. Not the most refreshing though.
Abundant aromas of orange marmalade, white currants, hazelnuts and subtle smoky oak are found in this broad, layered, full-bodied white wine. Drink this terrific De Fieuzal blanc over the next two decades.
