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.
