The Story
Still red wine from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, 13% ABV, produced by Chateau Carbonnieux, a Grand Cru Classé de Graves. Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 2021 vintage. A wine that embodies the history of a terroir, with roots dating back to the 13th century. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (3-4 weeks) with pumping over. Aged in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months (35-40% new). The wine releases an aromatic bouquet of ripe fruit accompanied by subtle smoky notes. A stunning deep purple color. The tannic structure on the palate is rich, long, and supple, with a smooth, fleshy texture, all perfectly balanced.
