👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet edges—showing graceful evolution and depth.

👃 On the Nose:
Elegant and complex, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dried cherry, lifted by floral notes and hints of tobacco, cedar, and a gentle perfume from its oak aging. Subtle gamey tones and earthy spice add old-world character.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky and medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and layered dark fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon leads with structure and drive, while Merlot and Cabernet Franc bring softness, ripeness, and aromatic lift. Notes of graphite, forest floor, and spice unfold through a smooth, gently evolved finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with roast duck, lamb chops, mushroom ragout, or aged cheeses. Its balance and savoury complexity make it a versatile companion for elegant, flavourful dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Mature and drinking beautifully now, though it can hold for another 3–5 years, continuing to soften and deepen with age.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Château Carcanieux delivers all the hallmarks of a great Médoc Cru Bourgeois—classic structure, layered complexity, and graceful maturity. With its polished balance of fruit, oak, and savoury depth, it’s an excellent value claret for traditional Bordeaux lovers and dinner table elegance.
