Chateau Carbonneau Sequoia Saint Foy Bordeaux

Chateau Carbonneau Sequoia Saint Foy Bordeaux
A Bordeaux from the lesser-known Saint-Foy 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.
Jacqueline and James de Ferrière took over Château Carbonneau 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. Today, the estate near Pessac-sur-Dordogne is also a hotel that attracts guests from all over the world. The wines reflect this development: solidly crafted, honest in style, and unpretentious.
The Sequoia showcases what Saint-Foy is known for: ripe aromas of blackberry and plum, a hint of cedarwood, and dried herbs in the background. The tannins are supple, the acidity moderate—an approachable red wine with a smooth finish.
Best served between 16 and 18 °C . Ready to drink now, without needing long aging. Pairs well with entrecôte with herb butter , leg of lamb, or a hearty beef stew—but also with Tomme de Savoie or aged Gouda.

Château Carbonneau is located between St-Emilion and Bergerac and only began wine production in 1996. Since then, the goal has been set to produce the best possible wine with the available resources of soil, climate, and existing labor. At the beginning, as the winemakers of the Château say about themselves, they had many young vines and little experience. But with enthusiasm and a lot of perseverance, they have managed today to get the best out of their grapes. This is how wines like the Cuvée Séquoïa, made from 52% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, are created. Through an 11-month aging of the wine in American oak barrels, it develops a delicate vanilla aroma and well-integrated tannins.
