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.

Bright and engaging, with chive oil, thyme and oyster shell notes blitzing to the fore, followed quickly by a second wave of enticing lemon pith, white peach and star fruit flavors through the long, fresh, pure finish. Someone bring the langoustines and saffron aioli. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

Typical Carbonnieux fruit and freshness, with sour cream, sliced green apples, guavas, gooseberries and a touch of passion fruit exuberance. Bright and expressive, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Upbeat, long and fresh, with good acidity that delivers a nice crunch to the fruit. Drink or hold.

Racy and alive on the palate, this thrills with lemon and lime acidity and some peach florality. Juicy and clean with some soft sweetness as well which gives added complexity and nuance. Green apple and pear on the finish with some wet stone minerality.

Based on 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon from gravelly, clay-limestone soils, the 2022 Château Carbonnieux Blanc offers a kiss of reduction alongside bright citrus, sappy flowers, crushed stone, and spice. Aged for 10 months on lees in a mix of 225-liter and 400-liter barrels as well as large wooden vats, it’s medium to full-bodied, impressively balanced, and elegant, with juicy acidity and a refined, layered profile.

88-90 The 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc scoots out of the glass with playful notes of juicy pears, pineapple, and lime zest with a touch of orange blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is seriously zippy, with intense citrusy flavors and a steely finish.
Blackcurrants, raspberries, crushed stone, bark, and dark mushroom. Licorice, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are minerally and intense. Tangy…
