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.
