Description

Château Carbonnieux 2016

Appellation: Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France

Classification: Cru Classé de Graves (Blanc et Rouge)

Ownership: Moueix family

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Vintage: 2016

Origin and background

The 2016 vintage is one of the great success stories of Pessac-Léognan, with a hot, dry summer followed by a mild autumn that enabled optimum ripening. Château Carbonnieux, renowned for its elegant, well-balanced style, produces a powerful, refined red wine from deep, well-drained gravelly soils.

Tasting

Colour: Deep ruby red with purple highlights.

Nose: Complex and fine. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (cherry), spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), woody nuances (cedar, vanilla) and a light floral touch.

Palate: Supple, full attack. Elegant, well blended tannins. Rich, balanced mid-palate, with intense fruit and refreshing acidity. Long, harmonious finish, marked by spicy, woody notes.

Review

Suggested pairings

This wine goes perfectly with grilled red meat or meat in sauce, roast poultry and stewed dishes. It also goes very well with mature hard or blue-veined cheeses, underlining its richness and elegance.
