La Croix de Carbonnieux wines are a tribute to the Benedictine monks from the Sainte Croix Abbey in Bordeaux who owned the property in the 13th and 18th centuries.
The monks, great wine-makers gave Carbonnieux its international reputation and a push towards modernity.
Their emblem, the “S” around the Sainte Croix, punctuates the Château landscape in various places and seals on our bottles the trace of their passing in the long history of the estate.
Crafted from plot selections of Château Carbonnieux Cru Classé, the white wines from La Croix de Carbonnieux are very appreciated second wines made with all the care devoted to a grand cru.
La Croix De Carbonnieux White has a pale yellow colour typical of our varieties and a freshness subtly impregnated with aromas of exotic fruits and grapefruit. These wines benefit greatly from the wonderful minerality characteristic of Carbonnieux and the Pessac-Léognan soil. The white Croix de Carbonnieux is a wine for Epicureans.
