Château Carbonnieux

Wine has been made at Carbonnieux since the mid-13th century, making it one of Bordeaux’s oldest estates. Now run by the 4th generation of the Perrin family, the estate covers 100 hectares of vines and woodland around the highest point in the Léognan commune, right in the heart of the Pessac appellation.

Very ripe, forward and deliciously appealing on the nose, with very citrus and oyster-shell character. The nose is fresh cut grass, peach, lemon balm and vanilla spice. The palate is rich and rounded in the mouth with quenching acidity that invigorates the palate. Very textural with creaminess and weight.
The yield in 2025 was 25hl/ha. Aged in 25% new oak for 10 months in a mixture of small (250 litre) and larger 400 litre foudres.
