La Revue du Vin de France : 93-94/100 “True to its style, with a focus on finesse thanks to a high proportion of Sémillon, this vintage produces a wine of great elegance. The aromatic profile, subtle and nuanced, is accompanied by a palate that is both precise and luminous. The balance is built on a lovely tension and delicately chiselled texture. The long, salty finish adds an extra dimension of freshness and distinction. ”

Bettane+Desseauve : 92-93/100 “With notes of boxwood, citrus, aniseed and vanilla, this white wine boasts an enticing aromatic profile, with a full-bodied, generous palate that retains its liveliness. The dynamic finish is true to the style of the vintage.”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 90-92/100 "The 2025 Carbonnieux Blanc is a brilliant, tense wine with good depth and plenty of drive. Green pear, lemon peel, tomato leaf, sage, mint and white pepper are very nicely fashioned in this tasty dry white."

J-M Quarin: 89/100 “Pale colour with green highlights. An intense, refined, fruity and pure nose. A hint of fresh almond. Delicate on the palate, very fruity in the mid-palate, slightly subdued towards the end, the wine regains its vigour with a lively, long finish. A rediscovered pleasure.”

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2025 Carbonnieux Blanc has a light, delicate nose, with pretty apple blossom and Anjou pear scents. Like recent vintages, it just needs more oomph (technical term, but you know what I mean)."
