The 2017 Carbonnieux Blanc has an impressive bouquet with scents of Granny Smith apples, crushed stone and nettle. There is certainly impressive intensity here – a bouquet that means business. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. This is one of the most sophisticated white Carbonnieux that I have encountered at this stage with wonderful mineralité and veins of ginger furnishing the finish that convey brio and confidence. This should evolve into an outstanding Pessac-Léognan. - vinous.com, May 2018

This is very salty and flavorful with sliced green apples, limes and green pears. Medium-bodied, layered and flavorful. Plenty going on here as always. Minerally. - jamessuckling.com, April 2018

The Carbonnieux 2017 Blanc is scented of grapefruit and squeezed lemons with a touch of lime leaves and chalk dust. The palate is medium-bodied, crisp and clean with great intensity and a long racy finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, erobertparker.com, April 2018

The 2017 Carbonnieux Blanc is an attractive, open-knit wine with lovely fleshiness and texture. Orchard fruit, mint, white flower and chamomile are all nicely woven together. - vinous.com, May 2018
