Red: Château Carbonneau 2006 Château Carbonneau is located in the Sainte Foy appellation. It is on the South side of the Dordogne River next to the Entre-Deux-Mers. In the 1900, Château Carbonneau was known as a vineyard producing good Bordeaux wine. In 1992, Wilfrid and Jacquie Franc de Ferriere inherited the property and began replanting the vineyard with grape varieties typical of the Bordeaux region, especially Merlot, which grows well on the slopes near the Dordogne River. The Château Carbonneau is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottled after 1 year in stainless steel vats, it is smooth and fruity. It is an ideal wine for lighter meals. It will age well up to 7 years. To order, click here: Bottle ($16.00), Case ($153.60 - 20% off!).

The vineyard was created in 1862 by Jean Astruc, a coachman of Hackney carriage in Bourigeole's castel. In 2003 Jean-Claude and Michel Mas bought the winery and introduced new techniques of vinification such as grape destemming, pneumatic pressing and filtration of the must and lees, etc. The Domaine Astruc is a 100% Viognier, it has a light pale color. It is intense with aromas of fresh fruits: apricot, white peach, pear and honey. The mouth feel is very rich and aromatic with a long lasting finish.
