Description
La famille Perrin élabore ce Pessac-Léognan sur un terroir argilo-calcaire et graveleux, typique de l’appellation. Assemblage de 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% de Merlot, 5% de Cabernet Franc et 5% de Petit Verdot. Élevage De 15 à 18 mois en fûts de chêne neufs entre 35 et 40%.
Un nouvelle fois, Carbonnieux est au rendez-vous sur 2020 !
On adore son éclat, son bouquet plaisant, accessible et ultra-consensuel. Notes de réglisse et de myrtille fraîche, les épices du bois viennent enrober le tout avec délicatesse. La bouche joue la carte de la suavité dans une texture fine, classique et très élancée. Les tanins sont fins laissant place à une longueur fraîche et parfumée.
Suggestion gourmande
Cuissot de chevreuil, jus réduit aux figues et raisins.
Avis des Experts
La Revue du Vin de France
Guide vert 2024
Bettane & Desseauve
James Suckling
"Blackcurrants, raspberries, crushed stone, bark, and dark mushroom. Licorice, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are minerally and intense. Tangy undertone with plenty going on. Very structured. Solid wine from this estate. Best after 2027."
The Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Carbonnieux has turned out nicely, like its white counterpart, exhibiting aromas of plums, cassis and cherries mingled with hints of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, rich and gourmand, with powdery tannins and a succulent core of fruit, it's an elegant effort from this large Pessac estate."
Jeb Dunnuck
"Another beautiful Graves, the 2020 Château Carbonnieux is medium to full-bodied, with plenty of classic Graves earthiness as well as beautiful red and blue fruits, lots of floral and exotic notes, ripe, polished tannins, and remarkable overall purity. This is certainly going to be an outstanding wine."
Decanter
"Juice and freshness running through this, with a velvety texture and sense of momentum. Violet reflections, touches of chocolate and rosemary spice, still the savoury fruit that is typical of the vintage, clearly concentrated, but well balanced overall. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. A yield of 42 hl/ha. 40% new oak. HVE3 certificated with one organic control plot."
The Wine Cellar Insider
"Deeply colored, this is already showing off its vanilla bean, flowers, tobacco, cherry and currant character on the nose. Supple, soft and silky, with refined fruits that feel stellar on your palate, give this 4-5 years in the cellar and it is going to be even better. This should age for at least 2 decades."
Vinous
"The 2020 Carbonnieux is dark and juicy to the core. Inky red cherry, cedar, leather, tobacco, smoke and mocha are all kicked up in this deep, flavorful Pessac-Léognan. Bright acids and a firm spine of tannin lend energy while giving the wine its sense of proportion. This is such a gorgeous wine. "
Très certainement le Pessac préféré des bordelais, dans un rapport qualité/prix imparable !
