Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a distinguished winery located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. With a history dating back to the 16th century, the estate is renowned for producing exceptional Bordeaux blends from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wines are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and ability to evolve gracefully over time.

Les Carmes Haut-Brion is an 8.8-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate within urban Bordeaux, producing red wines from densely planted vineyards on Günzian gravel and clay-limestone soils, with an unusual varietal mix of 41% Cabernet Franc, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Merlot. The estate combines traditional Bordeaux methods with modern approaches in their Philippe Starck-designed gravity-flow winery, employing whole-bunch fermentation and concrete vat vinification before aging in French oak.
