Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion 2017
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a medium-bodied red Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan region of Graves, praised for its elegance, precision and aromatic complexity. It is a unique blend of 41% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, and 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 24 months in a combination of 65% new barrels and 35% in barrels used once préviously and terracotta amphorae. Unprecedented proportions of Cabernet Franc offer a silky power which is then supported by the intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon. Within this structure, Merlot develops rounded and refined fruitiness: balance is the order of the day, ensuring a style that is complex and delicious in equal measures.
