Racy and alive on the palate, this thrills with lemon and lime acidity and some peach florality. Juicy and clean with some soft sweetness as well which gives added complexity and nuance. Green apple and pear on the finish with some wet stone minerality.

A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon, the 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc evokes notes of boxwood, white flowers, spices, confit citrus and pear mingled with dominant Sauvignon Blanc-inflected notes. Medium to full-bodied, incisive and layered, it’s deeper than the 2021, with a round, enrobing palate, bright acids and a long, penetrating and mouthwatering finish complemented by a delicate gastronomic bitterness due to the dryness of the year. This is a great effort.

Typical Carbonnieux fruit and freshness, with sour cream, sliced green apples, guavas, gooseberries and a touch of passion fruit exuberance. Bright and expressive, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Upbeat, long and fresh, with good acidity that delivers a nice crunch to the fruit. Drink or hold.
