Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“Round and friendly, with soft and velvety tannins and delicious plum, spice and meaty aromas and flavors. Juicy finish. Subtle and rich. Better in 2016.”
Located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is one of the historic estates of the Bordeaux vineyards. Confiscated during the Revolution, the estate was acquired in 1840 by Léon Colin. The Chantecaille family succeeded him and for many years helped to develop and structure the estate, before it was taken over in 2010 by the Pichet group. A major phase of modernisation accompanied this new chapter, notably with the construction of a contemporary winery inaugurated in 2016, designed by Philippe Starck and Luc Arsène-Henry. The vineyard covers around ten hectares with diverse geology. The estate’s grape varieties give a prominent place to Cabernet Franc, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion stand out for their elegance and complexity. Their profile combines aromatic depth, freshness and structure, giving rise to singular wines that are both refined and expressive.
