The estate and the wine |
|
|
An idol of Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux is one of the few châteaux whose reputation has been built around its white wine. Extremely delicate and elegant, it is undeniably one of the greatest of the Bordeaux vineyards.
Nowadays, the estate is at its peak and excels in both colors, with wines of remarkable intensity and aging potential. The regularity of the estate is rare enough to be underlined and whatever the vintage, Carbonnieux always expresses the best characteristics of the Léognan terroir. |
|
| | |
|
With its fresh, crisp flavors, the 2021 white Pessac-Léognan La Croix de Carbonnieux offers a beautiful texture, fullness, and delicate aromas of white fruits and citrus. Suave, pure, and delicate, with an exquisite minerality, it combines vigor and perfume in perfect balance with brilliant energy. This a beautiful bottle to enjoy today with a sole meunière or tartar of sea bream. |
