Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc Pessac Leognan

”chateau carbonnieux white is a legendary wine. It is said that in the 18th century it was introduced to the sultan of constantinople’s palace because of its clarity and was called mineral water from carbonnieux thus defying the islamic law. The clay-limestone of garonne gravel found in the pessac-leognan appellation certainly produces the best dry white wines in the bordeaux region. When young carbonnieux white wines are delightfully refreshing and pure with a fruity floral intensity. When mature they develop hints of dried and candied fruits giving scope for a large range of gastronomic pairings. The batches which will form part of this cru classe will be blended so as to induce an excellent complicity between the grape varieties. The chosen semillon grapes will add structure to the liveliness of the sauvignon grapes by giving them roundness and volume on the palate.
