Tasting Notes
Aroma
This very elegant wine derives its name from the Château’s magnificent
Napoleon III conservatory. La Verrière is full-bodied and complex while
at the same time preserving a certain suppleness to the fruit. The nose
shows some vanilla oak with black fruit conserve.
Palate
The palate is fine, with structured tannins, excellent acidity and a long,
dry and satisfying finish.
Vinification
The bunches are destemmed and following a gentle crush undergo a
pre-fermentation maceration for 24 hours to concentrate the flavours and
spices from the skins. Fermentation in stainless steel follows (26-28°C)
for 20 days to enable the best possible balance between the fruit and the
structure of the tannins. The wine is aged for 12 months in new French
oak barrels.
Food Matching
Served at around 10-12 degrees C, a classic and versatile Bordeaux red
which matches beautifully with a range of dishes including Entrecôte à
la bordelaise (served with a sauce of shallots cooked in red wine), rack
of lamb, or dishes combining poultry or game meats with chestnuts or
porcini mushrooms.
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 Dordogne and Gensac inter-
sect, 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.
The organic certified vineyards have south to south-west exposure and are
aged up to 49 years.
