The estate and the wine |
|
|
An idol of Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux is one of the few châteaux whose reputation has been built around its white wine. Extremely delicate and elegant, it is undeniably one of the greatest of the Bordeaux vineyards.
Nowadays, the estate is at its peak and excels in both colors, with wines of remarkable intensity and aging potential. The regularity of the estate is rare enough to be underlined and whatever the vintage, Carbonnieux always expresses the best characteristics of the Léognan terroir. |

|
| |
|
Subtly fruity and spicy, the 2017 Red Pessac-Léognan Croix de Carbonnieux offers a beautiful, fresh, and balanced wine of immediate pleasure. A full-bodied, crisp wine with plenty of freshness to enjoy without delay with roast poultry or a rack of veal with thyme. |
