Wine and Caviar with Chateau Carbonnieux and White Sturgeon Caviar

Carbonnieux Blanc paired with White Sturgeon Caviar
2014 Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc is a white wine from Pessac Leognan in Bordeaux. It is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon. Aged 10 months in barrels and wooden casks (25% new oak).
Wine and Caviar

There is still a lot of freshness with this wine. There are aromas of melon, tropical fruits, slight cut grass with a coating of minerality. On the palate some citrus appear along the soft mineral coating. The finish is mouth watering with tropical fruits and grassy grapefruit.

Lady Elena Caviar

This is a pairing where the power of the wine is hidden in the wine's balance. The wine covers over the caviar with its tropical notes and refreshes the palate. A good Lady Elena Caviar and wine pairing.
