Carbonnieux Grand Cru Classé De Graves Pessac-Léognan, 2022

Carbonnieux Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan 2022 comes from one of Bordeaux’s most respected historic estates, known for producing wines with clarity, freshness, and classic Left Bank balance. As a Grand Cru Classé de Graves, it carries real pedigree and a long-standing reputation for refined, terroir-driven winemaking in Pessac-Léognan.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage is expected to show a deep, polished profile with a vibrant core of dark fruit, typical of the appellation’s elegant but structured style. Look for aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle smoky notes, with a palate that combines ripe fruit, fine tannins, and a fresh mineral edge. This is a wine built for graceful development, and while enjoyable in its youth after some airing, it should gain complexity with bottle age. Over time, the fruit will integrate with more earthy, leathery, and spicy nuances, making it a rewarding wine to follow over the next decade or more.

Production
Carbonnieux is based in Pessac-Léognan, where gravelly soils and well-drained terroir help preserve freshness while supporting ripeness and structure. The vineyard work and vinification are aimed at expressing precision and balance, with careful harvesting and cellar practices designed to respect the character of the vintage and the estate’s classic Bordeaux style.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, game birds, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open up fully.
