Chateau Carbonnieux 2024

ANSON: "Love the juicy slate grip on the opening here, great quality and hard to argue with. Delivers personality depth and grip, harvest September 2 to 19, 3.1ph, 40hl/h yield, 25% new oak."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "With an honorable yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare, the 2024 Carbonnieux reveals a brooding, spicy bouquet of dark berries, red fruit, licorice and delicate hints of smoke and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, lively and incisive, it's firm and lean, framed by firm tannins and concluding with a long, dry finish. Very linear during my en primeur session, it should gain further harmony and flesh through élevage. The blend is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot."
