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.
2022 Château Carbonneau Verrière Rouge is an elegant and well-balanced Bordeaux red, highlighting freshness and finesse. It presents aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and plum, with subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth, refined tannins and bright acidity, offering a harmonious mix of red and dark fruit flavors. A gentle hint of oak and minerality leads to a clean, supple, and persistent finish.
