In the heart of the Bordeaux vineyard, Chateau Carbonneau is situated 20 kilometres from St Emilion and 35 kilometres from Bergerac. In a unique and idyllic setting, the chateau offers luxury accommodation and fine wines on the slopes of Pessac sur Dordogne.

Shortly after 1992, Wilfrid and Jacquie Franc de Ferriere inherited the property and began by replanting the vineyard with grape varieties typical of the Bordeaux region, especially Merlot which grows well on the slopes of Gensac. Thus began the revival of wine at Carbonneau. The Vineyard covers 15 hectares planted on the clay/limestone soils of the slopes of Gensac.

A bright pale yellow robe with silver highlights. A very expressive and complex nose combining grapefruit, granny smith apples and passionfruit with surprising minerality. The attack is tangy and juicy dominated by citrus fruit. The final is long and refreshing.

Grape 95% Sauvignon blanc, 5% Sémillon
