Château de Fieuzal

The whites are very fat and concentrated with some particularity elegant aromas: citrus, white peach and apricot when still young; Then, as they age, they acquire more complexity and finesse: honey, toasted and white flowers notes. After 4 or 5 years their whole finesse starts showing. But plenitude is reached about 10 years.

Wine Advocate

The 2005 Fieuzal offers up aromas of hazel nuts, lemon zest, white peaches, currants, and honeysuckle. Gorgeous acidity, a touch of creamy oak, and a full-bodied mouthfeel result in a Burgundian-style white Graves. Enjoy it over the next 20 years.

Score: 92. —Robert Parker, April 2008.

Wine Enthusiast

91-93 Barrel sample. This is soft, open, but hiding very ripe, generous fruits. With flavors of tropical fruits, and of green plums, this builds on its fruit rather than on the underlying wood notes. Score range

Score: 91-93. —Roger Voss, June 01, 2006.

Wine Spectator

Green apple and honey aromas follow through to a medium body, with bright acidity and a creamy, appley finish. A tasty white. Drink now.

Score: 90. —James Suckling, March 31, 2008.
