Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2015
Legend has it that back in the 18th century, Château Carbonnieux’s white wine was so crystal-clear that it made its way to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace under the guise of "mineral water from Carbonnieux". A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the Sauvignon brings energy and brightness, while the Sémillon adds roundness and depth. When young, it’s fresh, crisp, and bursting with floral and citrus notes. As it ages, it takes on richer layers of dried and candied fruit, making it an incredibly versatile food wine. This elegant white is a perfect match for cooked or raw seafood, foie gras, white meats, or even spiced dishes.
Vina Cobos Vinculum Chardonnay 2019
This Vina Cobos 100% Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Tupungato and Tunayán, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, planted at elevations between 3,330 and 3,845 feet above sea level. The semi-desert climate and cool nights promote even ripening, while heterogeneous soils of sand and rocky patches on steep slopes ensure excellent drainage and minerality. Winemaking Following traditional white wine fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a portion of the wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak, while the remainder remains in steel. Around 15% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. Bottled unfined. Tasting Note The wine displays an intense yellow colour with green highlights. Aromas of white flowers, green apple, pear, and subtle white chocolate are complemented by a structured, mineral-driven palate that culminates in a long, elegant finish. Food Matching Pairs perfectly with roasted or marinated grilled chicken and vegetables, as well as pasta in creamy sauces.
