About this wine
This second wine from the prestigious Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion offers everything you love about great Pessac-Léognan at a more accessible level. It's the perfect introduction to this exceptional estate's elegant style.
The nose reveals a beautiful aromatic palette dominated by fresh red fruit. On the palate, you'll find a crunchy density with silky tannins, showing the classic Merlot-led blend subtly complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot. The 2022 vintage brings lovely freshness and immediate charm, though this wine will develop beautiful complexity over the next few years.
Serve it at 16-18°C with grilled lamb chops, beef tenderloin, or a selection of mature cheeses. This is also a wonderful match for duck confit or mushroom risotto. If you're planning to keep it for a few years, decanting for an hour before serving will help it open up beautifully.
