Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a renowned Bordeaux producer located within the Pessac-Léognan appellation. This small property of just 7.6 hectares is the neighbour of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, and is frequently overshadowed by these names; however, under the guidance of winemaker Guillaume Pouthier the wines of the property have rapidly won the attention of Bordeaux aficionados. The 2020 vintage is a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot, more than half of which was vinified as whole bunches. The wine is available here in half-bottles.
