2020 Harvest
“With 10 days ahead of the previous vintage, the 2020 harvest has started under good auspices.
Weather is favorable, grapes are in perfect health, acidity is good despite the recent heat …
Only the Coronavirus bothers us because the barrier gestures make the atmosphere between pickers less spontaneous than in other years” Philibert PERRIN

FROST
Frost is the haunting of the winemaker during Springtime.
In the night between March 30th and 31st, temperatures dropped down below 0º.
To save the most at risk areas of the vineyard, we burned a few bales of straw to make the smoke create a screen against frost.
We apologize to our neighbours who may have been annoyed and count on their understanding.

Château Carbonnieux and Bordeaux
AOC PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Château Carbonnieux is located in Léognan in the heart of Pessac-Léognan AOC (Protected Designation of Origin) which was created in 1987. This designation comes from the Graves region and includes the 10 municipalities of the first south-west belt of the city of Bordeaux (Pessac, Léognan, Cadaujac, Canéjan, Gradignan, Martillac, Mérignac, Saint-Médard-d’Eyrans, Talence and Villenave-d’Ornon). It covers approximately 1,600 hectares (80% red grape, 20% white grape varieties) and encompasses 70 wine producing châteaux including 14 “Crus Classés” (Classified Growths).
Union des Crus Classés de Graves.
In 1953, 14 châteaux from the Graves region were honoured with the title of “Crus Classés” (Classified Growths), either for their white wines or red wines or both. Château Carbonnieux was renowned for its two colours. There are only 6 Châteaux (Bouscaut, Chevalier, Latour-Martillac, Malartic-Lagravière, Olivier and Carbonnieux) among the 9000 wineries from the Bordeaux region that have a classification for both their red and white wines. The 14 “Crus Classés” from the Graves region have been in the Pessac-Léognan AOC since it was created in 1987.
Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux
Château Carbonnieux is honored to be among the 134 members of the Union of Bordeaux Grands Crus. This association includes the most prestigious wines from the Bordeaux region. They come under the great appellations (PDO) of Gironde namely, Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Pomerol, Listrac-Médoc, Moulis en Médoc, Haut Médoc, Médoc, Margaux, Saint Julien, Pauillac, Saint Estèphe, Sauternes and Barsac. This union is very active and organizes wine tastings throughout the world.
Château Carbonnieux and the Environnement

Château Carbonnieux obtained the ‘High Environmental Value’ Level 3 in 2017, that is to say the highest level of this certification. This certification confirms environmental respect for the entire vineyard, taking into account the phytosanitary strategy,( reducing the use of pesticides and fungicides) the preservation of biodiversity, management of fertilizer inputs and management of water resources. It is the first step towards an organic type agriculture.

Sustainable agriculture / Integrated pest management
This logo is generally replaced by the HEV certification. The aim of this system of protection of the environment and people, equivalent to the integrated pest management system is to protect eco-systems as much as possible by limiting the use of chemicals. It is a method that requires an in-depth knowledge of the vineyard/terroir and permanent climate supervision. Château Carbonnieux has in fact its own weather station.
