Château Carbonnieux Grand Cru Classé
2010RedCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit VerdotPessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France
Carbonnieux is one of the oldest wine estates in Bordeaux, run by the Perrin family since the 1950s. This is their red, a blend of the classic Bordeaux grapes grown in Pessac-Léognan — the part of Bordeaux closest to the city, where gravel soils make elegant, savory reds at prices well below the famous châteaux nearby.
