Chateau Carlmagnus 2020

The rich aromas of a Fronsac wine by Carlmagnus

The estate

Chateau Carlmagnus is located in the Fronsac appellation. Situated on the right bank of Bordeaux, this property offers wines in a style typical of their appellation.

The vineyard

The 20 hectares of Chateau Carlmagnus are planted in clay-limestone soil upon an important limestone plateau.

Vinification and aging

Once sorted, the grapes went through vinification without crushing in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Daily pump-overs and punch-downs were carried out. The wines were aged for 12 to 14 months, exclusively in oak barrels (30 to 40% new oak, depending on the quality of the tannins).

The blend

The Chateau Carlmagnus 2020 was made from a blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
