Description
The elegance and design of a limited edition bringing together two fine vintages
The estate
The Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion, a large estate in Pessac-Leognan is located on the left bank of Bordeaux. Founded in the 16th century, this vineyard now delivers an expression of its terroir that is the work of a visionary owner and craftsmen with the air of goldsmiths. Acquired in 2010 by the Pichet real estate group, Chateau Les Carmes-Haut-Brion is today one of the most distinguished crus of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
The vineyard
Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a Pessac-Leognan wine from a 30.75 hectare vineyard, of which 7.60 hectares are dedicated to the Grand Vin. The nearly 40-year-old vines are planted on Mindel gravel on a clay-limestone base.
