🏰 The Château Backstory

Tour Léognan is the second label of Château Carbonnieux, one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux’s Pessac-Léognan region, with winemaking roots that go back to the 13th century.
This 2016 vintage blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak for 12 months, and sourced from younger vines — giving you a wine that’s approachable now but layered with complexity.

🌍 Terroir Talk

The vineyards sit on gravel and clay, classic Left Bank terrain. These soils keep the vines in check and bring out that signature Pessac minerality — all about balance, structure, and longevity.
