Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points
"This estate, particularly well known for its white wines, has lived up to its reputation in this new release. The wine is rich while also taut, young and textured. Spice from wood aging comes in at the end. * Cellar Selection*"
Vinous, 94 Points
"The 2021 Carbonnieux Blanc has a relatively spicy bouquet, very slight touches of muscat filtering through the citric fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy entry and good weight. Persistent in the mouth, leaving behind a long, saline aftertaste. This is another excellent dry white Bordeaux."
James Suckling, 93 Points
"Spiced lemon, ginger, gooseberries and minerals on the nose. Broad, medium- to full-bodied palate with fresh acidity and a zippy finish. 65% sauvignon and 35% semillon. Drink or hold."
Wine Advocate, 91 Points
"Notions of citrus zest, fresh mint, peach, pastry cream and Sauvignon botanicals introduce the 2021 Carbonnieux Blanc, a medium-bodied, satiny wine that's ample and precise. It's an attractive example of the modern school of white Bordeaux."
Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"This fresh white has a brisk edge, delivering white peach and yellow apple gelée notes, along with hints of lemon curd and salted butter. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon."
