Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a unique and historic estate in Bordeaux, dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by the Carmelite order. Located in Pessac-Léognan, it's one of the few châteaux situated within Bordeaux city limits. The estate spans 29.6 hectares, with 7.6 hectares of vines. Unlike most Bordeaux estates, Les Carmes Haut-Brion uses a high proportion of Cabernet Franc in its blend, typically 40-45%, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The château gained attention for its striking new winery, designed by Philippe Starck and completed in 2015. Under the ownership of real estate developer Patrice Pichet since 2010, the estate has seen significant investment and a rise in wine quality.
Nestled in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the gateway to the Bordeaux wine region, this area is renowned for producing wines of great finesse and longevity. The region benefits from a temperate climate and a long growing season, which are ideal for the cultivation of grapes that achieve optimal ripeness and complexity.
The terroir of Pessac-Léognan is distinguished by its diverse soils composed of gravel, clay, and sand. This variation contributes to the depth and complexity of the wines from this region. The well-drained gravel ensures heat retention while the clay offers moisture retention, aiding the vines during dry conditions, thus ensuring a consistent quality of fruit.
