Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2009 Pessac-Léognan (75cl, 13%)

A dry white Pessac-Léognan from a Graves Cru Classé estate, vintage 2009, in a 75cl bottle at 13% vol. The blend is 70% Sauvignon and 30% Sémillon, aged 10 months in barrels and large casks with 25% new oak. The estate notes a favourable vintage with remarkable flowering, a fine summer and ideal harvest conditions. The 2009 is powerful and flavourful, within the classic Carbonnieux white style of freshness, purity and aromatic intensity when young, developing dried and candied fruit with age.
