The 2020 Fourcas Hosten Blanc has an attractive nose with scents of lemon verbena and chamomile, nicely defined. The palate is taut and fresh with fine tannins, crisp with citrus peel, white peach and a touch of lemon rind on the aftertaste. Delicious.

The 2020 Fourcas Hosten Blanc reveals alluring notes of honey-drizzled peaches, lemon tart and apple pie, plus suggestions of straw and mandarin peel. The medium-bodied palate has a great intensity of citrus and stone fruit layers, supported by a racy backbone and finishing with a spicy kick.
The 2020 Fourcas Hosten Blanc offers light green apple, orange pith and alpine scents on the nose, perhaps just needing a little more vigor. The palate is well balanced, displaying a subtle orange zest tang on the entry, and an attractive sour lemon note lending tension toward a finish of decent length. Give it a year in bottle. This is a fine dry white from Fourcas Hosten.
