Specification

Producer

Château Carbonnieux

Wine has been made at Carbonnieux since the mid-13th century, making it one of Bordeaux’s oldest estates. Now run by the 4th generation of the Perrin family, the estate covers 100 hectares of vines and woodland around the highest point in the Léognan commune, right in the heart of the Pessac appellation. Its 90 ha of vineyards sit on deep clay and gravel soils over limestone, benefiting from excellent drainage thanks to the estate’s elevated slopes.

Tasting Notes

This is a fine, precise, and well-balanced dry white Bordeaux. Fresh floral and grassy aromas lead into layers of tropical fruit, melon, peach, and mango, that accentuates the crisp acidity and is balanced by sweet oak. The palate is full yet carries real energy and vibrancy throughout. A touch of spice and intense minerality bring focus to the long, clean finish. A very accomplished wine.
