Chateau Carbonnieux

Château Carbonnieux is a wine estate based in the Pessac-Léognan region. The estate was founded in the 13th Century. The modern history of the château began in the mid-1900s, when it was purchased by the Perrin family. The château and surrounding estate then went through a renovation which saw a new fermentation cellar and winery built, and an increase of vineyards from 45 to 92 hectares.

Château Carbonnieux strives to practice organic and sustainable farming throughout the vineyards. The vines are, on average, 30 years old and are planted on soils rich in gravel, clay, sand and limestone that are naturally well draining.

Cocoa, smoke, blackberries, black cherries, tobacco leaf, and herbs create the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, vibrant, silky, and soft, with a sweetness to the fruits that meshes perfectly with its lift and energy that carries through to the blackberry, currant, and earthy chocolate packed finish.
