Chateau Carbonnieux blanc 2021

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Notions of citrus zest, fresh mint, peach, pastry cream and Sauvignon botanicals introduce the 2021 Carbonnieux Blanc, a medium-bodied, satiny wine that's ample and precise. It's an attractive example of the modern school of white Bordeaux, even if anyone who has tasted older vintages from the 1960s or 1970s—when the wines were less Sauvignon-driven and aromatic but more textural and sapid—will inevitably be disappointed.

Winespectator (92)

Fresh and breezy, with a fleur de sel edge that adds nice energy to the core of gooseberry, white peach and lemon gelée. Presents a pretty quinine echo through the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

James Suckling (92)

Medium-bodied with a crisp and fresh array of citrus and apple fruit. Hints of stones and hazelnuts. Fresh and lightly creamy finish.
