Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“The 2022 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is the finest wine bottled to date at this estate under Patrice Pichet's ownership and Guillaume Pouthier's direction. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of violet, iris, dark wild berries, pencil lead and mulberries, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated with a deep core of fruit beautifully framed by velvety, precise tannins, segueing into a long, saline and perfumed finish. Suave and harmonious, it was crafted with 70% whole bunches and matured in 70% new oak. This unconventional blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot represents a turning point for the estate, cementing its rapid ascendancy in the Bordeaux firmament.”
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.
