The château’s imposing architecture, dating back to the Middle Ages, surprises with its understated, elegant style.
The first owners – and accomplished wine merchants – were the Benedictine Monks of Sainte-Croix abbey in Bordeaux who made internationally-renowned red and white wines centuries ago. They also succeeded in introducing their pale-coloured, crystal-clear wine to the palace of the Sultan of Constantinople, labelling it “Mineral Water of Carbonnieux“ in order to bypass the prohibition against alcoholic beverages.
Carbonnieux has belonged to the Perrin family for four generations.
Located on the highest point in the commune of Léognan, on soil that is perfectly drained by a natural stream, Carbonnieux’s terroir is especially conducive to producing high-quality red and white wines.
