Producer Profile

Producer Profile

Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion:

Based in Pessac right on the edge of the City Of Bordeaux itself, Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion is a rising star of the Left Bank.

The property has a long history, but it has surged in recent years in quality and recognition. The rise in quality in combination with relatively small production and reasonable pricing means that Carmes has become one of the region’s hottest tickets with allocations fiercely fought-over each En Primeur season.

Les Carmes Haut Brion is the Grand Vin. The second wine, Le C des Carmes Haut Brion is excellent and provides and accessible and affordable window into what is one of Bordeaux’s most exciting producers.

Elegance, Panache and Plenty of Style:

Les Carmes Haut Brion is superbly located just a stone’s throw from the First Growth of Haut Brion itself. Its proximity to the suburbs of Bordeaux creates something of a micro-climate.  There is a touch more warmth than many in the appellation might receive and this means superbly ripe grapes.

The vineyard covers 29 hectares and is planted with 41% Cabernet Franc, 39% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The soil is composed of gravel, sand, and clay, and provides good drainage and minerality.

The high proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend, in combination with the terroir, makes Les Carmes Haut Brion one of the Left Bank’s most elegant and sophisticated wines.

The estate itself is as stunning as the wine. Philippe Starck designed unique winery was designed by to look like that of the hull of a ship. It was completed in time for the 2015 harvest. It sits above a state of the art barrel room that allows for total precision.

The wine has clearly benefitted from this investment as Les Carmes Haut Brion as recent vintages have been consistently exceptional.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

vinum 90-92

60% Cabernet Sauvignon and only 13.5% ABV. Very pure and succulent blackcurrant with attractive bottom notes of spice and cloves. Lovely rich fruit through the mid-palate. Supple and lifted with a saline twist on the finish. Just a little bit thick-textured rather than showing great detail. Plush and glossy. [Matthew Hemming, 01/04/2023]
