Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion 2022 is a Pessac-Léognan wine from a 30.75-hectare vineyard, 7.60 hectares of which are dedicated to fine wine. The vines, which are almost 40 years old, are planted on Mindel gravel on a clay-limestone subsoil. The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted. The grapes are vinified whole. The wine is aged in new barrels, new tuns and amphoras. The nose offers an explosion of aromas of black fruits, violets and light woody and spicy notes. The palate is rich and complex. It combines a velvety texture with elegant freshness, fine tannins and a long, spicy finish.
