Chateau Carbonneau Pur Jus 2022
90% Merlot, 10% Malbec
In their words - Château Carbonneau was built around 1880, but ravaged by WWII it was reduced to a dairy and cereal farm. Located on the eastern limits of the Gironde where the Communes of Pessac sur Dordo- gne and Gensac intersect, Château Carbonneau is at 75 metres. In 1992, 3rd generation Wilfrid Franc de Ferrière returned with his New Zealand wife Jacqui and restored first the vineyards and then the winery. Transition is underway to the 4th generation, Hugo, Pierre and Margot, who are seeking to straddle both traditional and contemporary wine styles. Château Carbonneau is organic certified, and biodynamic farming is practiced. As such cattle remain very important. The organic certified vineyards have south to south-west exposure and are aged up to 49 years.
The bright merlot fruit dominates the nose with plummy fruit and a hint of sweet spice. The palate is juicy with black and blue fruits and good acidity and persistence.
