Château Tour Léognan
Grand Vin de Graves
Pessac - Léognan
In order to keep a healthy vineyard, Château Carbonnieux uproots and replants several plots of vines each year. For the first 3-4 years, these young plants will produce almost nothing, then for the next 5-7 years, they will produce grapes whose aromatic characteristics are not yet worthy to be included in the demanding composition of the Cru Classé Château Carbonnieux. This is why the juices of these young plants (for about 10 years) are used to craft Château Tour Léognan.
The wines of Château Tour Léognan are blended from young Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines of Château Carbonnieux, they are made with the same cultivation and winemaking care as their elder. These are gourmet and tasty wines, decidedly very pleasant and easy to drink young.
