Chateau Carbonnieux 1972, 1972

Duty Paid, 1 bottle, 75cl

ID: 161510

Description

The vineyards of Château Carbonnieux, in the superior Pessac-Léognan appellation, in the Graves region of Bordeaux, can trace its history back to the 13th century, but the history of the modern Carbonnieux dates from the 1950s, when Marc Perrin acquired the estate. A complete fresh start was made at this time when the harsh winter of 1956 wiped out the remaining vines in what were by that time rather unkempt vineyards. The new plantings were laid out to the plan perfected in the 18th century when the Château was at its peak.

This red is made from two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one third Merlot. The wine spent 18 months in barrel.

Perfect 40th Birthday present!
