Note di degustazione
The 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc has a clean, pure bouquet with Anjou pear and Mirabelle scents, though it is missing a little lift and complexity. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry, well balanced thanks to that keen thread of acidity. Just a little bitterness on the finish keeps it on edge, though there is something a bit unclean on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

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.
Based on 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon from gravelly, clay-limestone soils, the 2022 Château Carbonnieux Blanc offers a kiss of reduction alongside bright citrus, sappy flowers, crushed stone, and spice. Aged for 10 months on lees in a mix of 225-liter and 400-liter barrels as well as large wooden vats, it’s medium to full-bodied, impressively balanced, and elegant, with juicy acidity and a refined, layered profile.
The 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc has a rather muted nose that needs more fruit extraction. It's a little surly in the glass. The palate is fresh with grapefruit and light pineapple notes, offering an attractive waxy texture but missing the complexity and charm of a great white from the estate.
