Visite Classique – 2 vins

Looking for a unique experience at the heart of an estate? Discover Château Carbonnieux in the company of a member of the Perrin family, who have owned the estate since 1956. From the family history to the barrel cellar and the vineyards, the estate will hold no secrets for you. The tour ends with a sit-down tasting of 5 Grands Crus Classés accompanied by a cheese platter.

In 1787, on the eve of the French Revolution, Thomas Jefferson, a humanist with a passion for agriculture, a great lover of wine and the future third President of the United States of America, visited Château Carbonnieux in person to taste this “Vin des Odalisques”. You’ll travel back through the centuries as you discover the history of the estate and the traces of Thomas Jefferson’s visit that can still be seen on the property. After a tasting in a barrel unique in the world, you will taste the white Château Carbonnieux from two different vintages.

Once the highlights of the estate’s history have been revealed to you, you’ll set off to discover the vineyard and its specific terroir, as well as the production areas (vat room and barrel cellars). You will then visit the estate museum, where you can admire the collection of vintage cars and tools, as well as the cellar housing over a century’s worth of vintages. The tour ends with a tasting of three Grands Crus Classés.
