09 Carbonnieux


2009 Chateau Carbonnieux;
(barrel sample) Straw yellow, fresh, crisp, mineral, elegantly floral, like orange blossoms. Fresh, very good acidity, beautifull balance, very long finish, mouthwatering and playfull. Carbonnieux have taken the oak down, and the wines are so fresh with a gorgeous minerality, and almost Meursault like flintyness, combined with the beautifull Pessac-Leognan style of riper fruits, I just love it. 35% semillon, 65 sauvignon blanc, oak fermented, only older barrels on SB, and just 20-25% new oak barrels on semillon. 88-90
