Proprietary Blend: 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon.
NOTES: It is said that in the 18th century, Château Carbonnieux Blanc entered the court of the Sultan of Constantinople under the name “Carbonnieux mineral water,” thanks to its great clarity, thus defying Islamic law.
The clay-limestone terroirs with Garonne gravels located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation undoubtedly produce some of the finest dry white wines in the Bordeaux region. In their youth, Carbonnieux whites charm with their freshness, purity, and aromatic intensity, both fruity and floral. With aging, they develop notes of dried and candied fruits, offering a wide range of gastronomic pairings. The lots that make up this classified growth are blended to create a harmonious balance between the grape varieties. The selected Sémillons structure the liveliness of the Sauvignons, bringing roundness and volume on the palate.
In spring, bud development was promising and flowering occurred under very good conditions. June brought heavy rainfall, followed by exceptionally hot and dry months in July and August. The vines did not suffer significantly, but the grapes eventually lacked water; the berries remained small and concentrated. Yields were therefore low in 2022, but quality levels were very high.
The wine has a pale yellow, almost crystalline color with slightly green reflections. The nose is expressive and fruity, evoking passion fruit and peach. On the palate, the attack is round with good density that should intensify over time. The finish is saline, enhanced by citrus and exotic notes.
AGING: 10 months in barrels and large casks (25% new oak).
ALCOHOL CONTENT: 13.5%
