Winemaker Notes
Château Carbonnieux Blanc is a legendary wine and a benchmark for Bordeaux Blanc.
The clay–limestone of Garonne gravel found in the Pessac-Léognan Appellation certainly produces the best dry white wines in the Bordeaux region. When young, Carbonnieux Blanc is delightfully refreshing and pure with a fruity, floral intensity. When mature it develops hints of dried and candied fruits giving scope for a large range of gastronomic pairings. The batches which will form part of this "cru classé" will be blended so as to induce an excellent complicity between the grape varieties. The chosen Sémillon grapes will add structure to the liveliness of the Sauvignon grapes by giving them roundness and volume on the palate.

Critical Acclaim
94pts James Suckling
Very Carbonnieux with apple and oyster shell character as well as a medium to full body and a delicious finish. Well done.
Wine Spectator
A blend of 65% Sauvignon and 35% Sémillon, the 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc reveals a delicate bouquet with aromas of lemon, jasmine, linden, smoke, pear and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated palate that's deep and harmonious, with a bright core of fruit and a zesty, mineral-driven finish. Built around racy acids, this is a very classy Carbonnieux Blanc that's built to age with grace. Harvest here began early, on 16 August.

The 2022 Château Carbonnieux Blanc offers a light gold hue as well as a bright, racy, juicy style in its citrus, pineapple, and minty herb-like aromas and flavors. These carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium-bodied, has notable purity, and outstanding length.
