The name Carbonnieux is said to come from a family called "Carbonius" or Carbonnieu who cleared and cultivated land near Léognan at the beginning of the 13th century. The name Ramon Carbonnieu, the owner of vines at Léognan in 1234, is indeed mentioned in the archives of Bordeaux.

The medieval origins of the estate were confirmed by a deed of exchange dated April 2, 1292, signed by two monks from the powerful Sainte-Croix abbey in Bordeaux. In 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine married Henry II and so Aquitaine became part of the kingdom of England and was called Guyenne.

Grapes Blend : 70 % Sauvignon blanc , 30% Semillon.

On the nose, the citrus-flavored bouquet slowly unfolds in the glass. He achieves impressive harmony and concentration. 

The palate is well defined, very lively and pure, followed by a saline finish which lingers very well on the palate. It is a very well designed Carbonnieux Blanc with class and balance.
