Château de Carles Fronsac is a rich, smooth Right Bank Bordeaux from a beautiful and historic chateau.

In 1900, the Senator of Gironde, Guillaume Chastenet de Castaing acquired Château de Carles for the great reputation of its wines. Since then, the property and its vineyard have remained in the same family.

Château de Carles embraces both tradition and modernity. The wine is vinified in a combination of stainless steel, temperature-controlled vats, and 500-litre oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. However, a portion of Haut Carles is also micro-vinified, meaning that it was entirely vinified in barrel. The wine is then aged in an average of 70% new, French oak barrels on its lees for 18 months before bottling.

This medium-bodied wine, from right bank appellation of Fronsac, shows notes of blackcurrant, vanilla, dark cherry and spice. It is silky on the palate with supple tannins and can be drunk now or cellars for up to 15 years.

The age of the vines are between 30 to 35 years old.

Grape Varieties – 90% Merlot; 5% Malbec; 5% Cabernet Franc

Enjoy Château de Carles Fronsac with all types of classic meat dishes, especially grilled, baked and roasted meats.
