Tasting notes

Colour: Deep ruby red with violet hues.

Nose: Expressive and refined, revealing aromas of ripe red and black fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry), violet, graphite and cedar wood, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla, liquorice and mocha from oak ageing.

Palate: The 2020 Carbonnieux Rouge is round, silky and well-balanced, with fine-grained tannins, beautiful freshness and a long, elegant finish. A classic Pessac-Léognan with excellent ageing potential.
