{"title":"Château Carbonneau","description":"Château Carbonneau, located between St-Émilion and Bergerac, only began winemaking in 1996. Since then, their goal has been to produce the best possible wine with the available resources of soil, climate, and labor. At the beginning, the château\u0026#39;s winemakers themselves say they had many young vines and little experience. But with enthusiasm and perseverance, they have now succeeded in getting the very best from their grapes. This is how wines like the Cuvée Séquoïa are created, made from 52% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon. An 11-month aging process in American oak barrels gives the wine a delicate vanilla aroma and well-integrated tannins. An excellent everyday Bordeaux and our absolute top pick for value!","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-carbonneau-sequoia-saint-foy-bordeaux","title":"Chateau Carbonneau Sequoia Saint Foy Bordeaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Bordeaux from the lesser-known \u003cb\u003eSaint-Foy\u003c\/b\u003e in the eastern tip of the Gironde — softer in tannins than Médoc, ready to drink earlier, with the typical charm of a family-run Château.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jacqueline and James de Ferrière took over \u003cb\u003eChâteau Carbonneau\u003c\/b\u003e with little experience but plenty of perseverance—and over the years expanded it to 20 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of 70,000 bottles.
