【Feature】Chateau Carbonnieux

Chateau Carbonnieux is one of the most ancient winegrowing estates in Bordeaux. In fact, Carbonnieux has made wine continuously since the 13th century. The chateau’s imposing architecture, dating back to the Middle Ages, surprises with its understated, elegant style. 

The first owners-and accomplished wine merchants –were the Benedictine Monks of Sainte-Croix abbey in Bordeaux who made internationally-reowned red and white wines centuries ago. They also succeeded in introducing their pale coloured, crystal-clear wine to the palace of the Sultan of Constantinople, labeling it ‘Mineral Water of Carbonnieux’’ in order to by-pass the prohibition against alcoholic beverages…

Carbonnieux has belonged to the Perrin family for four generations.

Located on the highest point in the commune of Leognan, on soil that is perfectly drained by a natural stream, Carbonnieux’s terroir is especially conducive to producing high-quality red and white wines.
