This venerable 92-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate on the outskirts of Bordeaux occupies gravely soils and is planted with a slight preponderance of red varieties. Today, the style in red is bright and fruity, and the whites are cut from similar cloth, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc (though the great old Carbonnieux whites of yesteryear, which have often aged amazingly well, included much more Sémillon, something I'd love to see make a comeback).

Press Review

"The 2020 Carbonnieux has turned out nicely, like its white counterpart, exhibiting aromas of plums, cassis and cherries mingled with hints of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, rich and gourmand, with powdery tannins and a succulent core of fruit, it's an elegant effort from this large Pessac estate. Drink 2025-2045."
92/100 Wine Advocate

Press Review 2

"A velvety-textured red with lots of blackberry, black-olive, mushroom and walnut character. Full and dense, but fresh and vivid on the finish. Pretty layers of fruit and tannins."
93-94/100 James Suckling
