Château CARBONNIEUX
Grand cru classé
- 2024 Futures
- Pessac-Léognan red
More famous in the 90s for its whites, Carbonnieux has for the last ten years clearly raised the level of its red wine in power, matter and velvety texture, joining the best vintages of Leognan. With its value for money, unquestionable within Pessac-Léognan.
Bettane & Desseauve : 92/100 « Joli nez aux arômes de petits fruits rouges et noirs mûrs, délicatement boisé, bouche franche, nerveuse, aromatique et équilibrée, d’une bonne longueur. »
Vinous (A. Galloni) 86-88/100 "The 2024 Carbonnieux is floral and aromatic but also very light, with only modest structure and complexity."
Vinous (N. Martin) : 89-91/100 "The 2024 Carbonnieux has a light nose with brambly red fruit, mocha and earthy tones. It is calling out for a bit more vigor, but it is clean and shows no signs of greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and gentle grip. This Carbonnieux works because it has not been pushed too hard. Though it's short, this retains balance and focus. Fine."
La Revue du Vin de France : 89-91/100 « Échantillon discret, au nez un peu réducteur mais à la matière ouverte, bien équilibrée et d’une densité appréciable sans que la trame ne devienne trop serrée. La structure demeure légère mais une certaine chair l’entoure. »
