Chateau Carbonneau “Margot” Bordeaux Blanc


Great new find!!
2024 Chateau Carbonneau “Margot” Bordeaux Blanc...$17.99
The grapes are picked later than typical for Sauvignon Blanc in order to express the more exotic fruit flavors of pineapple, mango, etc. After pressing, the juice is kept at low temperatures during fermentation to preserve these flavors even more. As soon as fermentation is complete, the lees are stirred every second day to add roundness and balance the acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc.
This wine shows notes of pear, grapefruit and peach with a delicate citrus touch. On the palate, a good balance between acidity and roundness with a crisp mineral finish. Perfect wine for an aperitif or with seafood.

2024 Bordeaux White Vintage
Antonio Galloni: the dry whites are among the strongest—even "truly exceptional"
Neal Martin: the dry whites are the "riveting, tensile" stars of 2024, more consistent and impressive than the reds, with lively acidity and purity
