The 2015 de Fieuzal Blanc has a soft, slightly smudged bouquet at first, although it gains more definition with aeration, revealing scents of lime cordial, dried honey and peony. The oak here is present but well integrated. The palate is rounded on the entry, featuring pronounced lime notes and a fine bead of acidity, but rather simplistic compared to its peers, with a one-note finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Drinking range: 2019 - 2024 Rating: 87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jul 2019)

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. Rating: 95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2018)
With one of the highest percentages of Semillon in Pessac-Léognan, this has classic candle wax and green herb notes. Creamy, yet crunchy, it has zesty, grapefruity acidity and subtle oak integration. Drinking range: 2017 - 2026 Rating: 91 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (May 2016)
Rather dull nose - sweet and powdery. Simple fruit. Drinking range: 2017 - 2020 Rating: 15.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2016)
Château de Fieuzal
Chateau de Fieuzal is named in honour of the family that owned it at the start of the nineteenth century. After that, the Bordeaux wine property was owned by the Griffon family. The Griffon’s, who were lucky to have connections to Pope Léon XIII in Bordeaux, were able to fill the Vatican’s cellars with their wines from Pessac Leognan. de Fieuzal was purchased by the Ricard family. The Ricard’s owned multiple Bordeaux wine estates including Domaine de Chevalier and Malartic-Lagravière. Today, Chateau de Fieuzal is owned by Lochlann Quinn, the chairman of Allied Irish Banks.
The Bordeaux wine vineyards are planted on sand and gravel soils. The 39 hectare vineyard is planted to red and white grape varietals. For the reds, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot. The white grapes are planted to 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Semillon.
