Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

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.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Carbonnieux is anchored in Léognan as one of the historic signatures of Pessac-Léognan, possessing that rare dual talent for both reds and whites that defines the truly great estates of Graves. Born in a landscape long shaped by the vine, the estate has traversed the centuries—from the Ferrons to the monks of Sainte-Croix, and then to the Perrin family—without ever losing its course. Today, Eric and Philibert Perrin continue this legacy with a precise interpretation of the vineyard and a true sense of balance. The whites of Château Carbonnieux have long carried the house’s reputation, characterized by a straight, chiseled, and luminous profile, while the reds gain in depth, tannic finesse, and structure with age. The collection maintains a serious elegance, never ostentatious, which perfectly captures the singularity of Léognan. Alongside the grand vin, La Croix de Carbonnieux and the estate’s other cuvées offer another gateway into this universe, without diluting the property’s personality. Château Carbonnieux thus remains a benchmark address for those seeking classic, balanced, and enduringly refined Graves.
