L'Abeille de Fieuzal Blanc – Pessac-Léognan – White – 2018:

 

L’Abeille de Fieuzal Blanc: The Signature White of Pessac-Léognan

L’Abeille de Fieuzal Blanc is the sophisticated second dry white wine from the esteemed Château de Fieuzal, a Classified Growth of Graves in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. This wine is a superb demonstration of the region’s capability to produce world-class dry whites, offering immediate pleasure with the structural complexity for aging. It’s the perfect bottle for the discerning American wine lover seeking a high-end, food-friendly Bordeaux.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Bright pale gold with attractive greenish hints.
• Nose: A highly expressive and nuanced bouquet featuring vibrant citrus (lemon zest, grapefruit), white stone fruit (peach, nectarine), and subtle floral notes (honeysuckle). A delicate touch of oak adds layers of toasted almond and a hint of vanilla spice.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is crisp and energetic on entry, building to a generous and well-rounded mid-palate. The texture is smooth and luxurious, balancing the richness of Sémillon with the refreshing acidity of Sauvignon Blanc. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and utterly compelling.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This wine is a knockout with premium seafood. Serve chilled (50°F-54°F) in a quality white wine glass. While delicious now, its structure allows it to evolve beautifully over the next 3-5 years, developing richer honeyed and lanolin notes.
