Produced in a winery designed by Philippe Starck, this Pessac-Léognan has reached its peak, offering extremely delicate substance and impressive fruitiness. More info
The vines used to produce this wine are around 40 years old and they grow in a terroir of pebbles, sand and soil in Pessac. The vineyard is worked traditionally always with the goal to improve production. This wine's distinguishing feature is its proportion of Merlot and Cabernet France (40% and 50% respectively), a blend rarely seen on the left bank. The resulting cuvée is rich, dense and harmonious. It has a deep, ruby colour, and its palate is ripe, full and flavoursome. It has a long ageing potential of around 20 years, and will pair wonderfully with red meat dishes.
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Côtelettes d agneau grillées, Tournedos rossini, Dinde aux marrons.
Peak: 2022-2042

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion can be found, just like its neighbours, Château Haut-Brion and Château la Mission Haut-Brion, on the famous Graves plateau in the Pessac-Léognan appellation to the south-west of Bordeaux. From 1584 to 1789, it was owned by Carmelite monks, who first established the reputation of this property. During the French Revolution, however, it was seized then sold at auction. Acquired by the Chantecailles family, it remained with them for over a hundred years.
With its Philippe Starck designed cellar, Les Carmes Haut-Brion clearly stated its ambition since it was bought by Patrice and Diane Pichet in 2010. There’s no doubt that it’s one of the most dynamic Pessac-Léognan properties in recent years. This cru non-classé is completely unusual, especially when it comes to the amount of Cabernet Franc in its blends (on average, it amounts to 40%). The wines are sublime, ripe, and flavourful. A château followed very closely by many wine lovers.
The château owns Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon vines which are all about 40 years old and grown according to traditional methods with reduced yields. The plants benefit from the influences of the thick, sandy, clay Graves soil that has a limestone sub-soil.
