Chateau Carbonnieux

2018 Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc Grand Cru Classe

Bordeaux, FranceVintage: 2018

Château Carbonnieux white is a legendary wine. It is said that in the 18th century, it was introduced to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace because of its clarity and was called “mineral water from Carbonnieux”, thus defying Islamic law.
The clay–limestone of Garonne gravel found in the Pessac-Léognan Appellation certainly produces the best dry white wines in the Bordeaux region. When young, Carbonnieux white wines are delightfully refreshing and pure with a fruity, floral intensity. When mature, they develop hints of dried and candied fruits.

Notable Awards

“The top white, the 2018 Château Carbonnieux Blanc is largely Sauvignon with around one-quarter Sémillon. Lots of ripe lemon, leafy herb, rocky mineral, and a hint of white grapefruit emerge from the glass, and it’s medium-bodied, with bright yet integrated acidity and a great finish. It’s an outstanding, complex, interesting white that should have 4-6 years of prime drinking, probably longer.” – Jeb Dunnuck, (3/11/2021), Rating: 92, Drink: 2021-2027

Description

Château Carbonnieux is one of the oldest and largest wine estates in the Bordeaux region. Its history extends over almost eight centuries, and its vineyard over a hundred hectares.  Belonging to the Perrin Family since 4 generations, the whole vineyard is located around the castle at the top of a superb gravel hill.  All the wines produced depend on the Pessac-Léognan AOP.   The vines cultivated in sustainable and eco-responsible agriculture are devoted to exclusively producing red and dry white wines, both of which are qualified as Grands Crus Classés de Graves.
