Legend has it that back in the 18th century, Château Carbonnieux’s white wine was so crystal-clear that it made its way to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace under the guise of "mineral water from Carbonnieux".
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the Sauvignon brings energy and brightness, while the Sémillon adds roundness and depth. When young, it’s fresh, crisp, and bursting with floral and citrus notes. As it ages, it takes on richer layers of dried and candied fruit, making it an incredibly versatile food wine. This elegant white is a perfect match for cooked or raw seafood, foie gras, white meats, or even spiced dishes.

What the critics say:
"The Carbonnieux 2015 Blanc opens with scents of white grapefruit, lemon peel and fresh pears with touches of dill seed, white pepper, musk perfume and crushed rocks. Light to medium-bodied, the palate has a wonderfully racy backbone of refreshing acidity cutting through the intense citrus and mineral flavors, finishing on an herbal note."
