Discovering a Bordeaux Gem: Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion

The C des Carmes Haut-Brion is not merely a second wine; it represents a superb, early-drinking iteration of the celebrated Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Crafted from the distinctive Graves terroir, this claret achieves a brilliant balance between the classic finesse of a top Bordeaux Cru and an engaging, fruit-forward profile. It offers both immediate satisfaction and the structure required for rewarding cellar ageing.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: A deep, concentrated purple robe.
• Nose: Rich and layered, presenting powerful notes of ripe blackcurrant and plum, complemented by refined hints of cedar, baking spices, and a delicate floral lift of rose petal.
• Palate: The texture is luxurious and silky, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins. The wine is juicy, dynamic, and displays a lovely freshness that carries the dark fruit and liquorice notes through to a persistent finish. A truly elegant expression.

Food Matching & Service

Decant for two to three hours and serve at 16°C-18°C. This sophisticated red is a classic match for traditional British fare that features rich, slow-cooked meats or game.
