DESCRIPTION
95 Points Wine Enthusiast Always a success, the releases of whites from this estate continue with this tight, textured, wood-aged and ripe wine. It is still young, balancing between citrus and crisp acidity, with a texture that will open as the wine ages.
94 Points Wine Spectato #13 Wine Spectator Top 100 2021 A brisk lemon pith note flanks a core of lemon curd, honeysuckle, tarragon, oyster shell and salted butter notes, with a hint of warm, herbed focaccia on the finish adding range and contrast. Delicious. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now through 2026. 10,835 cases made.
92 Points Jeb Dunnuck The top white, the 2018 Château Carbonnieux Blanc is largely Sauvignon with around one-quarter Sémillon. Lots of ripe lemon, leafy herb, rocky mineral, and a hint of white grapefruit emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with bright yet integrated acidity and a great finish. It's an outstanding, complex, interesting white that should have 4-6 years of prime drinking, probably longer.
90 Points Wine Advocate The Carbonnieux 2018 Blanc leaps from the glass with invigorating notes of fresh lemons, wild thyme and green apples, plus touches of chalk dust and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate has a good intensity of citrus and herbal flavors with soft, approachable acidity and a white pepper laced finish.
