Grand Cru Classe

   Founded by the Benedictine monks of Bordeaux’s Holy Cross abbey in the 13th century, Château Carbonnieux is among the oldest estates in the Bordeaux region. In 1956, Marc Perrin acquired and restored this château bathed in history, which definitively earned the title of Cru Classé in 1959. Antony Perrin, his son, continued the aesthetic and technical improvements and gave this wine an international reputation. Today Eric and Philibert, his children, manage the family property.
