Château Carbonnieux er en af Bordeauxs ældste ejendomme, grundlagt i 1200-tallet af benediktinermunke fra Sainte-Croix-klostret i Bordeaux. Slottet har gennem århundreder været kendt for både sine hvide og røde vine – og i 1953 blev det klassificeret som Grand Cru Classé for begge.
Siden 1956 har ejendommen været ejet af familien Perrin, som i dag driver den i tredje generation. Eric og Philibert Perrin står i spidsen for arbejdet, stærkt engageret i at videreføre og forfine den arv, deres far Antony Perrin byggede op.
Carbonnieux nyder godt af sit særligt veldrænede grusplateau – et terroir, der gennem århundreder har været anset som noget af det fineste i Pessac-Léognan. Her skabes rødvine med klassisk karakter: strukturerede, elegante og med potentiale til mange års udvikling i kælderen.

The 2020 Carbonnieux has turned out nicely, like its white counterpart, exhibiting aromas of plums, cassis and cherries mingled with hints of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, rich and gourmand, with powdery tannins and a succulent core of fruit, it's an elegant effort from this large Pessac estate.
From a region that excelled in 2020, the 2020 Château Carbonnieux sports a deep purple hue to go with a killer bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, leafy tobacco, scorched earth, and graphite. It's rich, concentrated, and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a beautiful mid-palate as well as building, ripe tannins. This stunning effort warrants 3-4 years of bottle age and will evolve for 10-15 years in cold cellars.
Blackcurrants, raspberries, crushed stone, bark, and dark mushroom. Licorice, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are minerally and intense. Tangy undertone with plenty going on. Very structured. Solid wine from this estate. Best after 2027.
