Carbonnieux Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2015

95 points and '#26 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2018,' Wine Enthusiast: "This wine has a wonderful citrus character of fresh lemons and limes that meld with the mineral texture. It is crisp while also structured, bright with acidity and zesty in lemon and orange flavors. The aftertaste is herbal, crisp and bright. Drink from 2022. Alcohol 13.5%. (Apr 2018)"

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The white from Carbonnieux is the 2015 Château Carbonnieux Blanc and is based on 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. It’s a winner offering intense notes of lime peel, white grapefruit, and vibrant minerality to go with clean, crisp, racy yet beautifully balanced style on the palate. This terrific white can be drunk with incredible pleasure today or cellared for a decade or more. Drink: 2018-2028. (11/30/17)"

92 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The Carbonnieux 2015 Blanc opens with scents of white grapefruit, lemon peel and fresh pears with touches of dill seed, white pepper, musk perfume and crushed rocks. Light to medium-bodied, the palate has a wonderfully racy backbone of refreshing acidity cutting through the intense citrus and mineral flavors, finishing on an herbal note. Drink: 2018-2030. (Feb 2018)"

92 points James Suckling: "Aromas of stones, limestone and sliced pears follow through to a full body and tight and fruity flavors. Focused with an oyster-shell and cooked-apple aftertaste. Drink now. (2/2/18)"

92 points Decanter: "Crisp and star-bright, with some grassy notes alongside citrus fruit. A good quality, enjoyable, classic Carbonnieux. Drinking Window: 2018-2025. (Dec 2017)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Very engaging, with vibrant chamomile and gooseberry notes that meld gently into a core of grapefruit gelée and honeysuckle flavors. There's a flash of salted butter on the finish. Drink now through 2022. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (3/31/18)"
