Chateau Carbonnieux Pessac-Léognan, Grand Cru Classé Blanc

Château Carbonnieux receives its namesake from a family with the last name Carbonius who cleared and cultivated land near Léognan at the beginning of the 13^th Century. The first owner was Ramon Carbonnieu, who is mentioned in the archives of Bordeaux. After the tumultuous Hundred Years War, the property was run by Benedictine Monks. The Monks did not hesitate to borrow large sums of money to focus on their winemaking and ended up producing some of the most renowned wines in the world.
