Chateau Carbonnieux Rouge 2000
Introduction
Château Carbonnieux Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Rouge 2000 is a prestigious red blend from the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux, France. As one of the oldest winegrowing estates in Bordeaux, with winemaking history dating back to the 13th century, it was famously managed by Benedictine monks who once marketed their clear white wines as 'mineral water' to the Sultan of Constantinople. Today, the estate is owned by the Perrin family, who maintain a philosophy of sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture, holding High Environmental Value (HVE3) certification.
Wine Description
This 2000 vintage presents a deep ruby to purple hue and a complex sensory profile that reflects its maturity. The bouquet reveals intense aromas of black cherries, currants, and plums, layered with secondary and tertiary notes of tobacco, cigar wrapper, soy, and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and refined, offering a balanced interplay of acidity and fruit intensity with a polished, silky texture. Flavours of chocolate-covered cherries and espresso are supported by well-integrated tannins and a hint of toasty oak. The varietal composition for this vintage is approximately 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Having reached its peak maturity, it is currently in its 'phase of wisdom', offering great depth and finesse.
