Relatively light and evolved with quite simple fruit. (JR)
Probably the finest Carbonnieux I have tasted in over three decades, this deep ruby/purple-colored offering reveals complex aromas of black cherries, currants, tobacco, soy, and earth. Medium-bodied, with gorgeous purity, more glycerin and depth than usual, and subtle toasty oak in the background, this is a beautiful example of refinement and breeding. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
A fresh and fruity wine, with berry and vanilla character. Medium body, light finish. For early enjoyment. Best after 2004. 20,000 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2003
About the producer

This estate is one of Bordeaux’s oldest, with vines planted here since at least the 13th century. Over three generations, the Perrin family has completely renovated the estate and raised quality here significantly.
