Château Carbonnieux 2022

Bordeaux - Pessac-Leognan - Cru Classé - Red Wine -

Château Carbonnieux Red 2022 delivers a precise and classical expression of Pessac-Léognan. As a Classified Growth of Graves, the estate benefits from outstanding gravel and sandy soils over clay-limestone subsoils, ensuring freshness, aromatic clarity and refined tannins. The well-balanced 2022 vintage offers harmony, structure and excellent aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: deep garnet with purple highlights.
Nose: expressive and precise, revealing ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), black cherry, smoky notes, graphite, gentle spices and blond tobacco.
Palate: broad and straight, with a dense yet perfectly balanced core. Fine, ripe and silky tannins are lifted by mineral freshness, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish.

Terroir & Blend

The vineyards of Château Carbonnieux lie on gravelly and sandy soils over clay-limestone subsoils, ensuring excellent drainage and gradual ripening. The 2022 blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, delivering structure, aromatic finesse and aging potential.

Winemaking & Aging

Hand-harvested grapes with meticulous sorting. Parcel-by-parcel vinification in temperature-controlled vats with carefully managed macerations to preserve fruit purity and tannin precision. Aged in French oak barrels with a measured proportion of new oak, seamlessly integrated.

Food Pairings

Perfect with roasted or grilled red meats, dry-aged beef, rack of lamb, game or refined sauced dishes. Serve at 60–64 °F (16–18 °C). Decant for 1–2 hours when young.

12bouteilles.com Recommendation

Château Carbonnieux Red 2022 is a refined, age-worthy Pessac-Léognan. Enjoyable now with aeration, it will evolve gracefully over 5–10 years, gaining complexity and elegant tertiary nuances.
