Bordeaux Château Carbonnieux

Our committee's review

An icon of Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux is one of the rare estates whose reputation has been built primarily around its white wine. Exquisitely refined and elegant, it undoubtedly ranks among the finest of Bordeaux’s vineyards.

Today, the estate—still family-run—has reached its pinnacle, excelling in both red and white wines, with remarkable intensity and great ageing potential. The consistency of the estate is rare enough to be noted, as Carbonnieux always expresses the distinctive character of the Léognan terroir, regardless of the vintage.

This is exemplified perfectly with this best-selling cuvée, a true benchmark of the estate and an unwavering testament to its style.

With its well-ripened flavours anchored in an excellent vintage, the 2018 Red Pessac-Léognan Croix de Carbonnieux reveals both depth and substance. This is a full, complete wine with undeniable charm, maintaining a lovely freshness complemented by spicy and floral notes. Ready to enjoy now, it pairs beautifully with roasted poultry or a thyme-infused veal rack.

Delicate and refined, the 2022 Pessac-Léognan Croix de Carbonnieux offers vibrant, fresh flavours with exceptional elegance. Citrus and white flower notes unfold across a finely balanced structure, where the fruit is clearly defined. A superb find!
