Château Carbonnieux 2020, Pessac Leognan
This venerable 92-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate on the outskirts of Bordeaux occupies gravely soils and is planted with a slight preponderance of red varieties. Today, the style in red is bright and fruity, and the whites are cut from similar cloth, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc (though the great old Carbonnieux whites of yesteryear, which have often aged amazingly well, included much more Sémillon, something I'd love to see make a comeback).
