Château Carbonnieux is located in the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux. It was founded in the 13th century and, during the next six centuries, its ownership passed through many bourgeois families of France. The modern history of the château began in the mid-1900s, when it was purchased by the Perrin family. Both the red and white wines of Château Carbonnieux were classified as Grand Cru Classé de Graves in 1959. Château Carbonnieux white is a legendary wine. It is said that in the 18th century it was introduced to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace because of its clarity and was called “mineral water from Carbonnieux”, thus defying the Islamic law.
