2021 Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc Pessac-Leognan

$49.95

This wine has a beautiful transparent yellow color. The first nose is pure exhaling notes of grapefruit and lime blossom then aromas around lemony citrus fruits. The attack is lively, full of freshness, in the mid-palate the wine evolves with the very interesting fat of the Semillon aged on lees and ends with a long, fresh and dense finish. 2021 is in keeping with the line of very fine white Bordeaux vintages.
