One of Bordeaux's oldest estates—Benedictine monks founded it in the 13th century, documented in a deed from 1292. Grand Cru Classé for both red and white (one of only six châteaux with that distinction), the white is 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon from 42-45 hectares—the largest white wine production in Pessac-Léognan. The Perrin family has owned it since 1956; their sons Eric and Philibert now manage. Aged 10 months with 25% new oak. Legend has it the monks exported white Carbonnieux to the Ottoman sultan as "mineral water" to skirt the wine ban.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92
"A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon, the 2023 Carbonnieux Blanc exhibits elegant aromas of pear, white peach, spring flowers and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and long texture enhanced by bright acids and a lively mid-palate. It concludes with a long, delicate, mouthwateringly mordant finish, making it a classic white wine from this estate." -Yohan Castaing
