The second wine of chateau carbonnieux. 70% Sauvignon, 30% semillon. They advise drinking very young and we had the 2012 in 2015. A dull straw colour and an almost unpleasant green apple bouquet. To taste it is quite dilute with those green apples appearing again. Overall somewhat disappointing, especially as comes from the waitrose fine wine selection.
