Just a glance at the label highlights this Bordeaux is a departure from tradition. It's from an estate praised as long back as the late 19th century as a "great wine of Bordeaux". Pure Cabernet Franc, no oak, this red is fruit-filled and fresh.

The Wine
Château Carbonneau is named after the region's reputation for making wood charcoal from local oak forests centuries back. The property lies on the eastern edge of the Gironde, in Sainte Foye, and was built in 1890 by Jean-Jacques Bachan and his wife, Blanche. Jean-Jacques was an ardent gardener and you'll still find some of the trees he planted – a giant Sequoia, an orange tree and a magnolia. With no descendants, the estate was sold after WW1, gaining new owners in 1937. They were the Franc de Ferrière family who'd spent years in New Zealand. Today, the grandson, Wilfred runs the estate, with a passion. The aim with Le Franc was to make a fruity red, so there's no oak. All Cabernet Franc, the wine is juicy and fresh. Open early and decant.
