Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2023

Very bright and mineral with lively citrus-fruit, ginger, white-flower and crushed-stone character. A hint of seashell, too. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and focused with tense acidity and a firm, lightly phenolic finish.

In 2023, Château Carbonnieux produced a white wine that resembles a bowl of chilled, sweet and sour jelly. It is refreshing, smooth, and melts immediately upon entry. The wine has a high acidity that tastes like lemon tart, with a fresh scent of acacia, sweetness of honey, and salty freshness of sea air that all merge together at the moment they glide over the tongue. This creates a clear mountain spring-like taste that is utterly satisfying. The gentle warmth of Sémillon embraces the crisp Sauvignon Blanc in a 360-degree hug, creating a magical texture that reminds one of soft, filled candies.

65% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Sémillon. Beaucoup de finesse, de pluralité et de fraîcheur dans le bouquet de Carbonnieux blanc ! Des nuances d’anis et de fleurs blanches accompagnent des parfums de pêches et de melons. Salin en attaque, le vin se révèle subtilement, à l’instar du bouquet. Il se déroule harmonieusement, de manière linéaire pour avec de fins amers qui font office de pourvoyeur aromatique tandis que l’acidité se charge de la vivacité et de l’avenir. Une très belle réussite que l’on pourra apprécier jeune tout en rappelant que Carbonnieux a de très belles aptitudes de garde ! 2026-2043.

A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon, the 2023 Carbonnieux Blanc exhibits elegant aromas of pear, white peach, spring flowers and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and long texture enhanced by bright acids and a lively mid-palate. It concludes with a long, delicate, mouthwateringly mordant finish, making it a classic white wine from this estate. 2025 - 2035. Yohan Castaing
