Origin and background
The 2016 vintage at Pessac-Léognan benefited from a hot, dry summer followed by a cool, long autumn, ideal for the slow ripening and concentration of the white grapes. Château Carbonnieux, renowned for its elegant dry white wines, has produced a fresh, aromatic and complex wine in keeping with its gravelly terroir.
