The Carbonnieux 2018 Blanc leaps from the glass with invigorating notes of fresh lemons, wild thyme and green apples, plus touches of chalk dust and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate has a good intensity of citrus and herbal flavors with soft, approachable acidity and a white pepper laced finish.

"The name Carbonnieux is said to come from a family called "Carbonius" or Carbonnieu who cleared and cultivated land near Leognan at the beginning of the 13th century.

The name Ramon Carbonnieu, the owner of vines at Leognan in 1234, is indeed mentioned in the archives of Bordeaux. The medieval origins of the estate were confirmed by a deed of exchange dated April 2, 1292 signed by two monks from the powerful Sainte-Croix abbey in Bordeaux.
