Wine Advocate: 93 Points
A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon, the 2022 Carbonnieux Blanc evokes notes of boxwood, white flowers, spices, confit citrus and pear mingled with dominant Sauvignon Blanc-inflected notes. Medium to full-bodied, incisive and layered, it’s deeper than the 2021, with a round, enrobing palate, bright acids and a long, penetrating and mouthwatering finish complemented by a delicate gastronomic bitterness due to the dryness of the year. This is a great effort.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Bright and engaging, with chive oil, thyme and oyster shell notes blitzing to the fore, followed quickly by a second wave of enticing lemon pith, white peach and star fruit flavors through the long, fresh, pure finish. Someone bring the langoustines and saffron aioli. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Typical Carbonnieux fruit and freshness, with sour cream, sliced green apples, guavas, gooseberries and a touch of passion fruit exuberance. Bright and expressive, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Upbeat, long and fresh, with good acidity that delivers a nice crunch to the fruit. Drink or hold.
