The selection of grape varieties suited to soil types has been an integral part of the special winemaking culture of Château Carbonnieux for centuries. The implantation of each red and white variety is considered carefully so that each plant can flourish in the soil by drawing on the elements that will allow it to reveal its greatest aromatic finesse. 50 hectares planted with red grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) expresses terroirs of deep and massive gravel; Merlot (30%) is planted in fine gravel and clay soils; Cabernet franc (7%) is planted in clay-limestone soils covered with fine gravel, like Petit Verdot (3%). 42 hectares planted with white varieties: Sauvignon blanc (65%) dominates on deep gravel soils, and, in order to lend greater expression to the wine, it is also planted in fine gravel and in clay-limestone soils; Sémillon (35%) is planted only in clay-limestone soils, lending the wine fleshiness and complex aromas.
