Château Tour Léognan Pessac-Léognan rouge 2020 - Second vin
"Carbonnieux's second wine is wonderfully rounded!"
Château Tour Léognan is made from the young vines of Château Carbonnieux. Its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot reflects all the mineral richness of the famous Pessac-Léognan terroir. The wines are round, balanced, and slightly oaky. This second wine is synonymous with pleasure!

Nose
It appears complex, supported by notes of red fruits, cherries, and raspberries. Then, a spicier, smokier aspect emerges, enhanced by hints of pepper and nutmeg.
Mouth
A lively, generous attack with a tannic structure that just needs to breathe to express itself fully. Persistent notes of red fruit. A pleasant balance with plenty of roundness.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Owned since 1956 by the charming Perrin family, this great classic of the Pessac-Léognan appellation is appealing both for its volume of production, especially in white, and for the consistency and typicality of its style. The very pale whites are fresh, lively, and exceptionally refined, but since 2009 they have gained in richness. The reds have gained enormously in power and density and rival the very best.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Brothers Éric and Philibert Perrin, along with their sister Christine Lescuyer, continue to develop this important estate, which has evolved considerably over the past decade, consistently producing delicious wines. The new generation is arriving, and the 2019 vintage was brilliantly vinified by the young Andréa Perrin. Elegant and refreshing, the whites have gained in expressiveness while becoming richer on the palate. They do not age indefinitely, and we recommend tasting them within the first five years after bottling. However, some great vintages can hold magical surprises when cellared. The reds, serious and consistent, although often austere in their youth, have also gained in body density. They are never as good as between five and ten years of age. The vineyard is continuing its restructuring program with the replacement of Sauvignon Blanc on the beautiful gravel terroirs with Cabernet Sauvignon.
