Thirsty Thursday!  This week we are looking at Château Carbonneau, top of the range La Verrière from Sainte-Foy in Bordeaux.

Learn why it's a different blend every year and what our latest vintage tastes like! Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Tasting Notes:  This is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot and is only produced on a very small scale in certain vintages when the conditions are perfect.  Only the best hand picked grapes are aged in 100% French oak barrels which gives to exceptional fruit concentrations and smooth silky tannins.  The wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe bramble fruit and blackcurrant, well balanced by the structure that develops with the oak. The wine is full bodied and the finish is warm and lingering, with notes of light tobacco, liquorice and mocha.  A brilliant wine all round.  Chateau-carbonneau.com
