WINEMAKER NOTES
2022 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion – Pessac-Léognan’s Avant-Garde Classic
The 2022 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a standout expression from one of Bordeaux’s most progressive estates. Nestled within Pessac-Léognan, this château continues to push boundaries with precision viticulture and minimalist winemaking. The 2022 vintage showcases the finesse of Cabernet Franc and the estate’s distinct signature of lift, elegance, and structure.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine presents deep violet hues. Aromas of crushed violets, black cherry, and graphite unfold with subtle layers of herbs de Provence and cigar box. The palate is finely textured with tension and vibrancy, offering a mid-weight profile supported by chalky tannins and bright acidity. A long, saline finish confirms its aging potential and precision.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The vineyard sits on gravel, clay, and limestone soils just north of Haut-Brion. The 2022 blend is typically dominated by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot in supporting roles. Whole cluster fermentation in concrete tanks, gravity flow, and aging in a mix of new oak and amphorae reflect the estate’s commitment to purity and innovation. Élevage lasts approximately 18–24 months.
Investment & Collectibility
Les Carmes Haut-Brion has emerged as one of the most exciting properties in modern Bordeaux. With its blend of traditional terroir and contemporary techniques, collectors seeking fine wine investment outside the five First Growths are increasingly turning to this estate. Perfect for your collection, particularly from a vintage as compelling as 2022.
Vintage Insights
2022 was one of the warmest and driest vintages in Bordeaux history, yet the estate’s natural springs and canopy management preserved freshness. The result is a complex, balanced wine with low alcohol and lifted aromatics. Among Pessac-Léognan wines, Les Carmes Haut-Brion stood out for its refinement and energy.
