James Suckling
Some spicy wood on offer with attractive, ripe tropical fruits delivered in a smoothly textured palate that has impressive length and focus. Good concentration. One of the best whites from here in a while. 55% sauvignon and 45% semillon. Drink or hold.

There is a great balance between the spicy wood and the rich fruits that show off the ripe vintage. This is a wine that is poised, concentrated and ready to age.
Barrel Sample: 93-95 -
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 de Fieuzal Blanc has plenty of tropical fruit on the nose - pineapple, pink grapefruit and lime aromas that are designed to seduce. The palate has a little fatness on the entry, a little lower in acidity than its peers, with rounded peach and pineapple notes flourishing on the finish. A classy crowd-pleaser, in other words. Barrel Sample: 90-92

Wine Spectator
Rich, broad and creamy in feel, with hazelnut, ginger, creamed apple and pear fruit and a long, piecrust-infused finish. Flirts with an exotic feel, but there's a salted butter and chamomile echo through the finish that keeps this harnessed well enough. This has really fanned out since the barrel tasting. Drink now through 2020. 1,200 cases made.

Located in the heart of the Graves, the cradle of Bordeaux winemaking, Chateau de Fieuzal takes its name from the family to which it belonged until 1851. This Graves great growth, now owned by Brenda and Lochlann Quinn, is famous for its elegant white wines and opulent red wines.
Great care is taken to make the most of Chateau de Fieuzal's terrior in order to produce excellent wines as well as to protect the remarkably diverse natual environment. In keeping with demanding French standards of luxury craftsmanship, all work in the vinyeard and cellar is done both meticulously and traditionally. The vines are looked after on an individual basis and closely followed in order to obtain fruit that reflects the excellence of this unique terroir.
