The 2023 C Des Carmes Haut-Brion is based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, 25% stems, with a portion raised in foudre. Possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, it has a gorgeous nose of cassis, graphite, spring flowers, and underbrush. With medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins, this is one to seek out.
James Suckling
The fruit is very beautiful and crunchy, pure and fresh. Medium body with lovely texture and depth. 25% whole-cluster fermentation. Aged for three years, two in barrel and cask and one in concrete. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 38% merlot and 2% petit verdot.

The 2023 Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion is a terrific vintage wine bursting in the glass with pure, fresh and complex aromas of mulberries, cassis, violet and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, creamy and seamless, it’s fleshy core of fruit is framed by bright acids a d supple tannins. This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot is the most accomplished C de Carmes to date. It's maturing 10% in amphorae and the rest in foudres of 50 hectoliters.

Tasting note
One of the most impressive wines of the vintage, the 2024 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a striking effort that sets itself apart with seamless integration, even at this early stage, and a strong sense of identity. Poised, precise and unmistakably singular, it opens in the glass with a perfumed bouquet of iris, violet, dark berries, cherries, vine smoke and gentian. Medium to full-bodied, supple and notably fleshy for the vintage, it’s layered and textural, with a sappy, enveloping core of pure, vibrant fruit framed by finely grained, velvety tannins, culminating in a long, precise and gently stemmy finish. This is one of the rare wines of the vintage where sappiness is expressed with such finesse and charm, thanks in no small part to meticulous vineyard work and severe sorting in the winery. The blend is composed of 48% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot, and it's maturing in a combination of 70% new oak, 19% foudres and 11% amphorae.
