Tasting Notes
Aroma
An enticing nose of fresh and bright citrus fruits, with a racy,
grassy note.
Palate
Good depth on the palate, with excellent balance between the
juicy fruit and crisp acidity.
Vinification
The harvest occurs in the cool of the early morning and the
grapes undergo a gentle crush. Fermentation in stainless steel
follows (16-18°C), with lees stirring for 30 days after the alcoholic
fermentation to add body and texture.
Food Matching
Served at around 10-12 degrees C, it is a delicious accompaniment
to white flesh fish, poultry and shellfish, salads and natural oysters.
Region Notes
Château Carbonneau was built around 1880, but ravaged by WWII
it was reduced to a dairy and cereal farm. Located on the eastern
limits of the Gironde where the Communes of Pessac sur Dordo-
gne and Gensac intersect, Château Carbonneau is at 75 metres. In
1992, 3rd generation Wilfrid Franc de Ferrière returned with his
New Zealand wife Jacqui and restored first the vineyards and then
the winery. Transition is underway to the 4th generation, Hugo,
Pierre and Margot, who are seeking to straddle both traditional
and contemporary wine styles. Château Carbonneau is organic
certified, and biodynamic farming is practiced. As such cattle
remain very important.
