Château Carbonnieux
Pessac-Léognan White Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc & 35% Semillon, pale lemon-green with pronounce aromas of tropical and stone fruits with herb notes. On the palate flavors of melon, mango, apple, green peppers and a touch of citrus. Medium+ length, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit and herbal character. Very good to drink now, will benefit from bottle aging. Tasting Sample.

Star bright straw gold. Abundant nose of white peach, lemon, lemongrass; adding green apple, golden kiwi, and a bit of birch on the medium full palate. Long finish adds a wee bit of earth. Geez! A fantastic representative of classic Bordeaux Blanc. Enjoy with sea bass for a classic pair, but any white flesh fish will be abundantly happy. Drink now through 2028.

Tastes Sauvignon dominant, lots of orchard and tropical fruit, good freshness, clean.

Wonderfully fragrant nose of citrus, tropical fruit, and juicy stone fruit with a subtle background of wet stone, thyme, sorel, and verbena. Would rate higher based on the complexity and fragrance, but the finish is a bit weak.
