Château Carbonnieux 2023 Pessac-Léognan (75cl)

Château Carbonnieux has a long history connected with the Benedictines of the Abbey of Sainte-Croix in Bordeaux, who developed the estate further in the eighteenth century and brought its wines to attention outside France. Carbonnieux lies in Léognan and was recognised as a cru classé de Graves for both red and white wine. Marc Perrin bought the château in 1956. His son Antony continued the work, and then his children Eric, Philibert and Christine took over the family responsibility. The vineyards lie on the gravel soils of Pessac-Léognan and include both blue and white grapes.
