Château Carbonnieux, Pessac-Léognan blanc grand cru classé de Graves 2023 Grüner Veltliner perfectly capable of going anywhere

perfectly capable of going anywhere a decent Chablis can go

cooling maritime breezes and timely harvesting contribute to its vivacious freshness

and the use of oak in winemaking has a long history

this bold red is smooth and structured with aromas of plum and blackcurrant and intense fruity flavours

Château Carbonnieux, Pessac-Léognan blanc grand cru classé de Graves 2023 Grüner Veltliner perfectly capable of going anywhereA dry white with subtle floral aromas that become more fruity, with citrus and tropical hints, as the wine breathes. It's a crisp, dry mouthful with fine structure from ten months' ageing in barrels and casks with 25% new oak used. The finish is intense and full, with citrus freshness to the last. The estate recommends keeping this special bottle for four years from the vintage, and serving it with fish, seafood, poultry, milder cheeses and fruit
