Interesting facts
The vineyards from which the harvest for the red wine "Chateau Carbonnieux" is collected stretch across 50 hectares in Graves. The deep layer of clay-containing gravel soils provides excellent drainage for the 32-year-old vines. The vineyard practices a "double guyot" bush training system. The vines are planted quite densely — 7200 vines/ha. In the flexible, juicy, interesting wine "Chateau Carbonnieux", regardless of the vintage, the terroir is unmistakably discernible: it is elegant, has an excellent structure and aging potential of over 15 years, as well as an outstanding price-quality ratio. The harvest is hand-picked, and the grapes undergo double sorting. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and lasts for 3-4 weeks. After that, the wine matures for 16-18 months in barrels, of which 35% are new.
About the Manufacturer
The Chateau Carbonnieux estate has a history dating back to 1292. In the last century, in 1956, Marc Perrin acquired the estate and began its restoration and improvement. He started by increasing the vineyard area to 45 hectares in 1970, then to 70 hectares in 1980, and nearly 92 hectares today. Anthony, his son, built a new winery and adapted the cellars to new winemaking methods. In 1987, the Pessac-Leognan appellation was created, which included some of the most famous Graves chateaux, including Chateau Carbonnieux. According to an old legend, the monks of the Order of the Holy Cross, who owned the estate in the 18th century, sold wine to the French favorite of the Ottoman emperor, and to avoid offending the religious feelings of her high patron, they labeled it "Mineral Water from Carbonnieux." It is said that when the emperor visited his lady, he tasted this wine and, puzzled, asked her why the French made such a fuss about their wine when they had such wonderful water?
