The tasting |
|
|
Dark red, beautiful intensity, glossy. |
|
| | |
|
Beautiful flavours of red berries and flowers mixed with notes of blood orange and a touch of graphite. |
|
| | |
|
The palate is concentrated and deep, with beautifully expressive fruit flavors, supported by precise, velvety tannins, and finishing long and saline. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion continues to captivate critics and impress even the most seasoned wine enthusiasts. With its striking, Philippe Starck-designed winery, its exceptional terroir just steps from Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, and its bold, modern approach, the estate is turning heads—and winning over just about everyone.
In recent vintages, under the vision and drive of owner Patrice Pichet, the château has fully reclaimed its place among Bordeaux’s elite. With significant investment and a relentless pursuit of excellence, the results speak for themselves: the wines are now operating at the very highest level. |

We were completely captivated by the 2022 Carmes. It brings together a full, rounded texture with an almost electric energy. The vibrant aromatic spectrum builds beautifully, moving from red fruit aromas to bursts of blood orange, with exceptional depth and progression. The 2022 Carmes is not only a rare gem but also heralds the arrival of a bold, perhaps unrepeatable new style. There’s no doubt in our minds—this bottle is destined for greatness. |
