This exceptional vintage stands as a testament to the rich history and unparalleled quality of Bordeaux wines. The 2010 Château Carbonnieux is a stunning blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It hails from the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation, renowned for its gravelly soils that impart a unique minerality and complexity to the wine.

The palate is equally impressive, displaying a perfect balance of robust fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a vibrant acidity that promises excellent aging potential. Its full-bodied structure and lengthy finish make it an ideal companion for hearty dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or aged cheeses. The 2010 vintage is particularly noteworthy, celebrated for its concentration, depth, and elegance. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a passionate wine enthusiast, the 2010 Château Carbonnieux is a must-have addition, offering a sublime tasting experience that embodies the very essence of Bordeaux’s winemaking excellence.
Reviews
Extremely soft, up-front, classic Pessac-Leognan, the 2010 Carbonnieux possesses plenty of unsmoked cigar tobacco, roasted herbs, lavender, sweet kirsch and black currant fruit and sweet tannin. Seductive, lush and sensual, it is rather Burgundian in its elegant, savory, evolved style. Drinking all the way to 2033. 90 points Robert Parker
