(Château Carbonnieux Blanc, Graves) Almost overlooked in the great 2005 Bordeaux vintage are the beautiful white wines. This Carbonnieux proves that oak and Sauvignon Blanc can be happy bedfellows. Its nose is a fascinating combination of Meyer lemon with hints of yeast, minerality, and rich oak. The best white Graves can age nearly as long as their red counterparts, as this wine will demonstrate. Hot Picks
