Château Carbonnieux

Pessac-Léognan

Grand Cru Classé de Graves

0,75

Red

There has been a lot of work in the vineyard this year and it shows in this elegant, silky wine which is made from a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. It has a lovely aromatic nose of blackberries and sloes, is silky and fresh on the palate. More immediately accessible than in other years, it has fresh, supple tannins. Gourmet and fruity for medium drinking, the wine finishes in a classic Pessac-Léognan style with a touch of minerality and dark fruit. Eric Perrin talks of a modern, classic style comparable to vintages such as 2014 or 2017.

Created quite recently, in 1987, Pessac-Léognan is a sub appellation of the Graves, although the region as a whole claims to be the oldest wine region in Bordeaux dating back to the Roman times.
