When young, Carbonnieux Blanc is delightfully refreshing and pure with a fruity, floral intensity. When mature its develops hints of dried and candied fruits giving scope for a large range of gastronomic pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 65% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e94Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003e\nCrisp and tight with fine citrus flavors, the wine is beautifully proportioned with textured, zesty acidity. It shows balance between its structure and its fruits that will only get better as it matures.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: 93-95\u003cbr\u003e\n93James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLots of dried lemon, spiced pear, matchstick, and ginger aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with light caramel, honey and some tropical fruits. Dense wine, but framed with phenolics. Delicious finish. Outstanding as always. 65% sauvignon and 35% semillon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e93Decanter\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the benchmark wines for white Pessacs, and it has succeeded here. Plenty of curling aromatics out of the glass, a lovely grip and bounce. Good stuff.

It's another utterly classic Grave white that will evolve for at least a decade.

Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a layered, concentrated mid-palate and a penetrating finish, it's a great success in the estate's Sauvginon-dominant style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e92Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh and breezy, with a fleur de sel edge that adds nice energy to the core of gooseberry, white peach and lemon gelée.
