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.

Very Carbonnieux with apple and oyster shell character as well as a medium to full body and a delicious finish. Well done.

One to look out for, with juicy uplift and white flower blossom aromatics, a ton of supple textured white peach fruits, with a kick of lime zest and bitter lemon curd. Great quality, impressive reflection of the excellent white terroir at this estate. 30hl/h yield.

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.

Flowers, green apples, tangerine, pineapple, and honey notes are packed into the perfume. Rich, oily white peaches, and yellow citrus with a drizzle of tart green apple combine to fill your palate with a touch of crushed rocks on the backend. The wine blends 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon.

Very pale yellow-green, silver reflections. Fresh meadow herbs, white peach, hints of guava and passion fruit. Medium-bodied, white tropical fruit, fresh acidity, salty, a delicate food wine, balanced.
