Omschrijving
Dit 6.4 Ha grote domein op top terroir met als buurman Haut-Brion heeft de laatste jaren enorme kwaltiteitsstappen gemaakt. Het door Patrice Pichet eigentijds verbouwde kasteel met wijnmaker Stéphande Derenoncourt, wordt onder insiders gerekend tot de top van Pessac-Léognan.
De 2020 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is eenn van de toppers van jaargang 2020. Alle elementen in de wijn zijn zó harmonieus samengebracht dat niets eruit springt. De 2020 is de eerste moderne jaargang waarin alles perfect in balans is. Donkerrood/paars fruit, rozenblaadjes, munt, lavendel, gedroogde kruiden en wierook bouwen samen aan een betoverende Pessac-Léognan die je de adem beneemt. De blend bestaat uit 40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon en 26% Merlot, Er werd gewerkt met 55% hele trossen. De vinificatie duurde vijf weken, met zeer zachte extractie, zonder overpompen of onderdompelen van de schilletjes (punchdowns). De rijping vond plaats op 80% nieuw eiken, 11% in 18hL foudres en 9% in amphora’s.

The 2020 Les Carmes Haut-Brion has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries, red fruits, exotic spices, rose petals, raw cocoa and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, it's intensely flavored but weightless, with a compelling sense of harmony and a long, orange-inflected finish. A blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot, it was vinified with some 65% whole bunch and attained 13.5% alcohol. This is the first vintage where Pouthier's methods (whole bunch with weighted cap and long élevage incorporating larger vessels) were applied writ large, and the results are striking.
Published: Apr 06, 2023
The irrepressible Guillaume Pouthier has delivered another fine success at this 6.9-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate. Viticulture at this address is rather innovative, with great attention paid to managing hydric stress: soils are worked at night or during the day, and sometimes the cover crop is rolled rather than being cultivated, on a parcel-by-parcel basis, all with a view to creating the necessary hydric deficit for optimal maturation without going too far, causing the vines to shut down. Deleafing (traditionally performed to expose the grapes to sunshine and improve canopy airflow) has been banished to retain fresh, vibrant flavors. And since the 2015 vintage, when the château's new "Noah's Ark" winery was completed, conditions have been fully adapted to Pouthier's methods. Winemaking is rather reductive, featuring important percentages of whole bunches and vinification in tanks where floating lids keep the cap moist and immersed in the fermenting must below; and Pouthier, a Chapoutier alumnus, favors rather long macerations. Élevage of the young wines is long: generally around 24 months—in a mixture of barrels, foudres and ceramic vessels—and extending as long as 30 months in the 2013 vintage, a notable success at this address in the context of a very challenging year. All this is delivering very singular wines (with comparatively moderate alcohol levels, incidentally), without changing Les Carmes Haut-Brion distinctive, Cabernet Franc-driven DNA.

Gorgeous aromas of crushed berries with orange peel. Fresh spices. Flowers. Salty. Full and so bright and vivid, with an elegance and beauty at the beginning and then it goes on and on. You see the intense fine tannins at the end. Dusty and bright. Unique wine. 55% whole cluster. 80% new wood, 10% amphora, and 10% foudra.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a total stunner. For the first time I can remember, Les Carmes Haut-Brion marries all of its elements so well that nothing stands out. In the past, the high percentage of Franc and/or the whole clusters were evident. The 2020 is the first modern vintage in which all the elements are so well balanced. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, mint, lavender, dried herbs and incense all build in a ravishing Pessac-Léognan that will take your breath away.
The 2020 is 40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot, picked between September 14 to 26, which is early here. Whole cluster was 55%. Vinification took place over five weeks, using very gentle extraction, with no pumpovers or punchdowns. Aging was 80% new oak, 11% 18hL foudres and 9% amphorae. In tasting, the 2020 is simply magnificent. There are no soloists, just the most exceptionally vivid, breathtaking orchestra imaginable. The 2020 is a masterpiece from Technical Director Guillaume Pouthier and his team. Don't miss it!

From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is dazzling, but it is also a wine of reserve and understatement. I image it will be some years, at the very least, be fore the 2020 is ready to show all it has to offer. Today, it is not particularly expressive. The aromatics, which are usually so penetrating are quite shy, although the significant presence of Cabernet Franc that distinguishes this wine comes through in its energy and sense of drive. I can't wait to taste the 2020 from bottle, and won't be at all surprised if it turns out even better than this note suggests.

2025 - 2050
From: Vingt-Vingt Vins: Bordeaux 2020 (May 2021)
The 2020 Les Carmes Haut-Brion was picked at 38hl/ha and matured in 80% new oak, 11% foudres and the remainder in clay amphorae. It has an intense bouquet of blackberry and wild strawberry, plus some light torrefactory scents, undergrowth and black pepper, all delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully defined black fruit and delicate touches of mint, bell pepper and cracked black pepper. Though it shares the same surname, it is interesting to see how, stylistically, it is cut from a totally different cloth than Haut-Brion and La Mission, which each possess their own distinct attributes. Quite thickly textured and weighty on the finish with a long, spicy aftertaste, this is a serious Les Carmes Haut-Brion with a very long future ahead.

Wijnhuis
Alles is bijzonder aan dit domein. Dat begint bij de wijn, die zeer gezocht is, maar het gaat ook over het ongelofelijke gebouw van Philip Stark. Een zeer innovatieve wijnmaker en een nieuwe vinificatieruimte sinds 2015 staan borg voor de enorm toegenomen kwaliteit van dit historische Chateau.
Guillaume Pouthier gebruikt relatief veel hele trossen en ze ondergaan een lange gisting. Ook de rijping in vaten, foeders en in amfora's is extreem lang. Soms wel 24 tot 30 maanden. Het Cabernet Franc karakter van Les Carmes Haut Brion is altijd duidelijk aanwezig evenals het kenmerkende lage alcoholgehalte. De laatste jaren hoort dit Chateau tot de top in Bordeaux.
