Château Carbonnieux Pessac-Léognan White Bordeaux Blend 2019
Our favorite White Bordeaux year in and year out is Chateau Carbonnieux. One of the great classics of Bordeaux dry whites, demonstrating its ability to consistently deliver polish and impact while retaining classic white Bordeaux minerality and freshness. 94 Points Wine Enthusiast "Top 100 Cellar Selection of 2022": "The estate is noted for white wine, and this latest release lives up to the reputation. This textured, mainly Sauvignon Blanc wine has tight acidity set against wood aging and ripe citrus and white-fruit flavors." 92 Points Wine Spectator: "Fresh and breezy, with a fleur de sel edge that adds nice energy to the core of gooseberry, white peach and lemon gelée. Presents a pretty quinine echo through the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2026." 91 Points Robert Parker: "The 2020 Carbonnieux Blanc delivers loads of zesty sparks of yuzu and lime peels over a core of green apples, fresh grapefruit and crushed rock with a hint of wild thyme. The medium-bodied palate is crisp and refreshing, offering a great intensity of citrusy flavors with a chalky finish."

Why do I keep wasting my money on French wines!? I guess it’s because occasionally they are stunningly brilliant, but for the most part (except for the Rhône’s) they’re mediocre. 2019 vintage tasted November 2021. Melon and apricots on the nose. Sweet green table grapes on the front of the palate—then it goes down hill from there. watery Tanic structure with lots of bitter high notes on the top of the pallet. It has a soft finish, but I get a burp of sourness as I swallow it. Overall this is an inoffensive white wine. Suitable for serving guests for whom you don’t want to waste the good stuff on.
