Château Carbonnieux Blanc is one of the most majestic white wines from Bordeaux. It has it all - heady aromatics, gorgeous fruit, compelling, terroir-driven characters, and ageability, having the capacity to develop even more richness with a few years in the cellar. We have secured an allocation of half bottles from the magnificent 2023 vintage. If you believe, as I do, that halfsies should be just as special as their bigger counterparts, this incredible offer is for you!

The 2023 Château Carbonnieux Blanc is from one of the oldest estates in Pessac-Léognan and has a diversity of soil types (clay, gravel, limestone, sand, and argillaceous rock) that result in distinct wines of unparalleled complexity. Lees aging for 10 months in oak barrels adds depth to the finished wine.

Press:
94 points, James Suckling:
"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."

93 points, Decanter:
"With its lemon rind and grassy notes, this sauvignon blanc-dominated wine - ever reliable - continues to appeal in 2023. This is excellent white wine with grip, juiciness, depth, and freshness."

92 points, Wine Advocate:
"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."

92 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
The 2023 Château Carbonnieux Blanc is light gold-hued and offers terrific aromatics of ripe citrus, minty herbs, and a kiss of grapefruit. These carry to a medium-bodied white with a round, supple texture, nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length.
