Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2023

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Izak Litwar - Great Wines from Bordeaux

68% Sauvignon Blanc + 32% Sémillon. It displays an intense nose of acacia flower, grapefruit, and citrus, has fine acidity, and is fresh, vibrant, and tense. Complex on the palate with freshness and crisp fruit. Lemony aftertaste. Superb.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Notes of white fruits, confit citrus, herbs and menthol emerge from the 2023 Blanc from Carbonnieux, a moderately weighted, elegant and sappy, enveloping and juicy wine with lot of freshness and a long, saline finish. This is a classic at this address and a real effort in the context of the vintage.

Jeb Dunnuck

A classic, impeccably balanced white, the 2023 Château Carbonnieux Blanc sports a medium gold hue as well as ripe citrus and stone fruits intermixed with minty herbs and a kiss of minerality. Based on 68% Sauvignon Blanc and 32% Sémillon and brought up 10 months on the lees in 70% French oak barrels (20% new) with the balance in 30- and 55-hectoliter wooden vats, it's medium-bodied and has a clean, focused mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It will shine on the dinner table over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.

James Suckling

Sliced lemon, crushed stone, ginger and oyster shell aromas follow through to a medium body with crisp acidity and a crunchy finish. A very typical top white from Pessac. Drink now.
