Château Carbonnieux blanc G.C.C. | Pessac Léognan
White wine | France, BORDEAUX | 2020
This wine has a pale yellow-green color that after a few years of evolution takes on a beautiful yellow color. This distinct wine is one of the classics when it comes to quality white wines within Bordeaux. In the nose a mixture of exotic fruit, wood and grapefruit, refreshed by notes of lemon. On the palate a rich, full white wine with a fair amount of wood, vanilla, ripe yellow fruit and floral notes, even a hint of spiciness.
