Château Carbonnieux Classified Growth - Pessac-Léognan 2013
2013 is a year that does not look like any: A cold and tormented spring, a very sunny summer and a maturing fruit delayed. Late harvest dates reminiscent of the 1980s or beyond. Excessively low yields (the lowest since 1991). 2013 gave white hairs to the vignerons at the time of flowering but the constancy of the sun and the absence of summer rains saved the vintage. The grape harvester teams were reinforced (+ 30%) in order to pick quickly and select the best grapes on the stand and in the reception cellar.
