Chateau Carbonnieux Pessac-Leognan Blanc 2022

A pale yellow colour, very pure with slightly green tints. The nose is young, revealing freshness and the whole personality of the white Sauvignon Blanc in its savoury aromas of intense citrus fruit. The woodiness is mellowed leaving pride of place to the aromas of juicy white fruit (pear, peach…).

The Wine: Château Carbonnieux white is a legendary wine. It is said that in the 18th century it was introduced to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace because of its clarity and was called “mineral water from Carbonnieux”, thus defying the Islamic law.
