Château Carbonnieux 1969
Pessac-Léognan

Built at the end of the 14th century, around 1380, Château Carbonnieux is one of the oldest vintages of the very old Graves terroir, cradle of Bordeaux wines. It is established on the silico-limestone ridges overlooking the cool valley of "Eau-Blanche", which crosses the town of Léognan. It was on a vineyard in poor condition that the Perrin family, already owner of vines in Algeria, set their sights in the 1950s. Ravaged by phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, the estate suffered from the crisis of over-production chronicle which will strike the whole of the French vineyard until the end of the 1960s. Uninhabited since the First World War, the buildings are dilapidated. In addition, the winter following the takeover (1956) is one of the coldest of the century, with temperatures approaching -20 °! Marc Perrin then undertakes to restore to the estate the luster of its finest period, which dates back to the 17th century. The vineyard is the subject of a complete replanting program. The results were really felt from the beginning of the 1980s, under the leadership of Antony Perrin, who took over the reins from 1982. A formidable visionary, he took the vintage to its highest level, in red and white. He also bought out other areas of the appellation: Le Sartre, Tour-Léognan, Bois-Martin, Lafon-Menaut and Haut-Vigneu. Respected by his peers, he participated in the creation of the Pessac-Léognan appellation in 1987. Since his death in 2008, his two sons have taken over. Its red wines, full of sap, fleshy, well bouqueted, enjoy a reputation equal to that of white wines. They too are of great race. They achieve and develop as they age the quality of the greatest Bordeaux wines.
