Carbonnieux Grand Cru Classé De Graves Pessac-Léognan, 2022

Carbonnieux Grand Cru Classé de Graves 2022 is a distinguished Bordeaux red from one of Pessac-Léognan’s most historic estates. Known for its elegance, freshness, and classic Left Bank structure, it offers a refined expression of the appellation with the pedigree of a Grand Cru Classé de Graves.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep ruby color with purple reflections in its youth. The nose is usually layered and precise, offering blackcurrant, cherry, and plum alongside subtle notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, and a gentle smoky edge. On the palate, it is expected to be medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a polished, balanced feel. The finish should be long and composed, with the structure to age gracefully for many years, developing more complexity and earthy nuance over time.

Production
Produced in Pessac-Léognan, where the gravelly soils of Graves give Cabernet-driven wines their hallmark freshness, finesse, and mineral tension. While detailed vinification information is not provided here, Carbonnieux is known for careful vineyard management and traditional Bordeaux winemaking that aims to preserve purity, structure, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended if opened young to help the wine unfold more fully.
