2015 Carbonnieux Blanc
Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2023 3:11 am
It seems that white Bordeaux does not have the widest following, but I really enjoy many of them, mostly from Pessac-Leognan.
A Pape-Clement Blanc blew my mind when I visited the estate several years ago. Well, I can’t afford to drink Pape-Clement Blanc too often, but I find that Carbonnieux Blanc consistently pleases at a fraction of the price (though it isn’t exactly cheap), and the 2015 I had the other night was delightful. A solid 91-92.
