Médoc Château La Rose Carbonière 1995
The 1995 Château La Rose Carbonière is a red wine originating from the historic Bordeaux region of France. Classified as an Appellation Médoc Contrôlée, this Grand Vin de Bordeaux was estate-bottled by the proprietors, S. Segond et Fils. A notable factual detail of this specific release is its association with Volvo Construction Equipment, which is featured as a sponsor.
The Médoc area is located on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, where soils composed of gravel, sand, and clay provide natural drainage and heat retention. This renowned part of Bordeaux traditionally focuses on blends dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The region has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains anchored by its historic 1855 classification. The 1995 vintage from this area is described as mature and balanced, earning a score of 91 points, which reflects the classic viticultural conditions of the left bank.
