Château Carbonnieux 2011 Barrel Sample White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
93-95. Barrel sample. Very herbaceous in character, this is a wine that is packed with powerful acidity yet remains elegant in style. It has minerality and tight acidity, and should benefit from aging.

Château Carbonnieux 2005 Barrel sample Red (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. Big and bold, this wine may lack grace, but it has many other attractive elements, like its ripe fruits, its Technicolor tannins and its dark flavors.
— R.V.

Château Carbonnieux 2008 White (Pessac-Léognan)

A beautifully balanced wine, its acidity and green fruits, slipping easily into a more intense pear and apricot character. The tang comes back with the citrus on the finish.

Château Carbonnieux 2008 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
Full-bodied, smooth wine, with spice and black plum fruit flavors packed into the sweet tannic structure. It’s solid and chunky, a sign of the greater concentration coming out of Carbonnieux in recent years.
— R.V.

Château Carbonnieux 2006 Barrel sample White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
90—92 Barrel sample. Initially severe, the structure then opens out and gives a delicious tension between ripe fruit and that structure. This will age.
— R.V.

Château Carbonnieux 2007 White (Pessac-Léognan)
Dominated by the grassy characters of Sauvignon Blanc, this is a tight wine, almost cool in its character. The fruit skin tannins are very apparent, giving the wine a crispness, layering acidity and a strong citrus element.
— R.V.
