Château Carbonnieux, classified as a Grand Cru Classé of Pessac-Léognan, is one of the most prestigious estates in the Bordeaux region. Located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, this estate benefits from an exceptional terroir of gravel and clay-limestone soils, ideal for producing refined and balanced wines. The estate has been following organic viticulture practices for several years, contributing to environmental preservation while offering authentic wines that reflect a respected terroir.
The vineyard is predominantly planted with cabernet sauvignon, complemented by merlot and a small percentage of cabernet franc. This blend creates powerful wines, while maintaining great finesse and freshness. Cabernet sauvignon provides structure, tannins, and complex aromas, while merlot softens the wine with its fruity and velvety notes.
On tasting, Château Carbonnieux stands out with its deep, intense color. The nose reveals aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, with hints of spice and subtle woodiness. On the palate, the wine is well-structured, with fine and elegant tannins. The balance between freshness and power is remarkable, and the length on the finish speaks to its aging potential. This wine will continue to evolve over the years, revealing greater complexity and more refined aromas.
Château Carbonnieux pairs ideally with red meats, sauced dishes, or aged cheeses. Its finesse and balance make it a benchmark among the Grand Crus of Pessac-Léognan.
