Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon, the 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc evokes notes of boxwood, white flowers, spices, confit citrus and pear mingled with dominant Sauvignon Blanc-inflected notes. Medium to full-bodied, incisive and layered, it’s deeper than the 2021, with a round, enrobing palate, bright acids and a long, penetrating and mouthwatering finish complemented by a delicate gastronomic bitterness due to the dryness of the year. This is a great effort.

Description
Château Carbonnieux Blanc is a legendary white wine, known for its clarity and purity, which was even introduced in the palace of the Sultan of Constantinople in the 18th century. This wine is produced in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, famous for its clay-limestone and Garonne gravel soils, ideal for making the best dry white wines in the Bordeaux region.
Winemaking
The production of Château Carbonnieux Blanc begins with a careful selection of grapes, followed by a slow and gentle pressing under inert gas. Fermentation and ageing take place in oak barrels and wooden vats, using 25% new oak. This process lasts 10 months and includes battonage of the lees, which contributes to the complexity and structure of the wine. The final blend consists of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, with an alcohol content of 13%.
Taste
Château Carbonnieux Blanc stands out for its transparent yellow colour and a very pure first aroma, exhaling notes of grapefruit and lime blossom. On the nose, aromas of lemony citrus develop. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, evolving towards an unctuous texture thanks to the Semillon aged on lees. The finish is fresh, dense and of remarkable length, with a citrus aftertaste and a delicate floral and fruity balance. This wine is a faithful representative of the excellent vintages of Bordeaux white wines.
