Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan rouge 2023 0,75l
Château Les Carmes Haut‑Brion is a singular Pessac‑Léognan estate with around 30 hectares of vines on gravel, sand, clay and limestone just outside Bordeaux. A high share of Cabernet Franc, joined by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, gives the wine its perfumed, refined character. Whole‑bunch ferments and ageing in a mix of concrete, large foudres, barrels and amphorae add layers of complexity without weight. The bouquet is pure and aromatic, with red and black berries, roses, spice, smoke and subtle cocoa. On the palate Les Carmes Haut‑Brion is medium‑bodied, silky and intensely flavoured yet weightless, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, detailed finish.
Ageing in oak, foudre and amphora preserves precision, harmony and the lively structure of the wine.
