Description

chevron-down

This 6.4 hectare domain on top terroir with Haut-Brion as its neighbor has made enormous strides in quality in recent years. The castle, renovated in a contemporary style by Patrice Pichet with winemaker Stéphande Derenoncourt, is considered among the top of Pessac-Léognan among insiders.

Colored a deep garnet purple, Les Carmes Haut-Brion diffuses an enticing array of savory scents - black olives, charcuterie and Sichuan pepper - over a core of bright red currant jelly, black cherry and cassis scents, plus fragrant hints of rose petals and candied mandarin peel. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and elegantly styled, but with a rock-solid backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins and very good freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This is a vintage with longevity potential and should age with fantastic grace.

Wijnhuis

Everything is special about this domain. It starts with the wine, which is highly sought after, but it also involves Philip Stark's incredible building. A highly innovative winemaker and a new vinification room since 2015 guarantee the vastly increased quality of this historic Chateau.

Guillaume Pouthier uses relatively many whole bunches and they undergo a long fermentation. The maturation in barrels, foeders and amphorae is also extremely long. Sometimes as long as 24 to 30 months. The Cabernet Franc character of Les Carmes Haut Brion is always evident, as is the characteristic low alcohol content. In recent years, this Chateau has been one of the top in Bordeaux.
