Ch. Carbonnieux Blanc, Pessac-Léognan

Ch. Carbonnieux Blanc, Pessac-Léognan - 2021

Item # 31094 750mL

When young, Carbonnieux's white wine beguiles with fresh charm, as the Sauvignon Blanc dominates initially. Pure limes and citrus give way to floral intensity. As this wine matures, the rounded, honeyed nature takes over; judicious use of oak and the wine's Sémillon character soften into notes of dried, preserved apricots. 2007, a cooler vintage was useful for the whites of Bordeaux. A variety of foods and cuisines pair well with this supple wine: buttery fish, roasted poultry or vegetable gratins are a few fine suggestions.

(It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

Bordeaux

Situated on the mid-Atlantic coast of France around the Gironde river, Bordeaux is home to some of the most legendary wines on earth. There are (for all intents and purposes) five grape varieties permitted under French wine law for red Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and, very infrequently, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
