TASTING NOTES:
This wine is 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.

BRAND NAME:
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion
One of the jewels of the Bordeaux wine country, Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion has over 29 hectares of vines. It is in a unique location, an enclave in the city of Bordeaux. In fact, it is the only estate to have vines in the city proper. This unique combination of soil and microclimate clearly contributes to Château les Carmes Haut-Brion’s finesse and elegance. This estate was bought in 2010 by Patrice Pichet, who were seeking to diversify. He has already planned major investments: restructuring the vineyard as well as building a new cellar for fermenting and ageing the wine.
