Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc 2022, 750ml
Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2022 is a blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon grown on clay-limestone soils with Garonne gravel. Grapes were harvested between August 16 and September 1, with pressing done either whole or destemmed depending on ripeness and parcel. Fermentation occurred in oak barrels (225–400 L) and large oak vats (30–50 hL). The wine was aged for 12 months on lees with regular stirring, using 25% new oak.
Tasting Note:
Aromas show citrus, white flowers, and subtle spice. The palate is taut and mineral-driven, with concentrated fruit and a clean, persistent finish. Overall, the wine is structured and vibrant, reflecting the warm vintage.
