One of Bordeaux's great dry whites, and one of the very few that can still be bought without a second mortgage. Carbonnieux's 2024 is 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon — the Sauvignon supplying the nerve, the Semillon the roundness and volume that gives it shape — aged ten months in French oak barrels and foudres, which builds texture without burying the fruit. The vineyard is a single hundred-hectare block wrapped around the chateau on a gravel rise, clay-limestone with Garonne gravels underneath, farmed sustainably; it's Grand Cru Classe de Graves for its whites as well as its reds. The estate calls 2024 a vintage full of promise after a kind growing season, and at 12.5% the wine is built on tension rather than weight. The Perrin family has been here four generations, since buying the place in the frost winter of 1956 and replanting it from 45 hectares to its present size. Long before that, the Benedictine monks who owned it smuggled Carbonnieux's pale white into the Ottoman Sultan's palace by selling it as "the mineral water of Carbonnieux" — a story worth having in your pocket when you pour it.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half shell, grilled langoustines, sole meunière, roast chicken with tarragon, veal sweetbreads, or a Thai green curry — the estate itself points to spiced dishes like curry and tagine. Also fine with aged Comté or a slice of foie gras terrine.

Tasting Profile

Dry and medium-bodied. Lemon, verbena and mint up front with riper peach and grapefruit behind, and a light oak-spice frame from the barrel aging. The attack is fresh and the acidity firm, with the Semillon filling out the mid-palate so it doesn't feel lean. Finishes taut and clean.
