Château Carbonnieux
Château Carbonnieux is an ancient Bordeaux structure. The Carbonnieux family name first appeared at the beginning of the 13th century, with lands located in Léognan under the blessing of the Abbaye de Sainte-Croix. 

Regarding the succession of the château's former owners, it was the bourgeois de Ferron family who were the first to live there from 1519 to 1730, after which it was handed over to the Benedictine monks until the arrival of the Revolution. Chateau Tour Leognan was classified as a Graves Grand Cru around 1953. It is renowned for its Bordeaux wines, both red and white. Carbonnieux wines now boast 6 Crus Classés de Graves. These are located within the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Geographically, the estate covers 170 hectares of land, including 92 hectares of vines in the Bordeaux region. Over the years, these vineyards have consistently enhanced the quality of the wines produced, year after year. 

Of this 170-hectare area, two large plots are occupied by the vineyard. The particularity of Château Carbonnieux's wines lies in the presence of a naturally drained terroir of Garonnaise gravel, underlain by a tertiary clay-limestone bedrock. 

It should be pointed out that the vineyards producing Carbonnieux wines use integrated farming methods that respect biodiversity. This means avoiding the use of insecticides and weedkillers that could weaken natural defenses.

"Another impressive vintage from this STAR estate!"

"Carbonnieux 2021 is an absolute delight. It offers an exotic blend of black fruits, espresso, licorice, cloves, leather and lavender. Deep, savory and very expressive, 2021 has so much to do, so much to offer. Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage, which is reflected in the overall structure and aroma typicity of this wine."

"A classy white wine made to age gracefully! ~ Wine Advocate "

"Elegance prevails for this wine with aromas of frangipane, lemon pear and lemon verbena. On the palate, delicacy rests on subtle balance and complexity: you'll appreciate the acidic thread of lemon through to the saline finish, with lime and a hint of minerality. All grace.

16/20 Gault & Millau

La Croix de Carbonnieux is a fine, subtle red, revealing aromas of red fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, with that pleasant hint of smokiness so typical of the appellation. The palate is very generous, with tight, silky tannins in harmony with the fruit, and good length... A fine-looking Pessac!

Pale yellow in color, this white wine charms with its freshness and aromas of exotic fruit and grapefruit, with the characteristic minerality of a great wine. The attack on the palate is lively, acidic and fresh, with roundness and volume, as well as great finesse... Not to be missed!
