The collection captures the château’s remarkable evolution, from the mature, traditionally styled wines of the 1990s and early 2000s to the precise, Cabernet Franc-led character of its modern era. The pivotal 2010 vintage coincides with the estate’s acquisition by Patrice Pichet, while the highly acclaimed 2015 and 2020 releases demonstrate the finesse, aromatic complexity and innovative winemaking that have established Les Carmes Haut-Brion as one of contemporary Bordeaux’s most admired estates.
Across the six vintages, expect an evolving spectrum of cassis, blackberry, plum and dark cherry, accompanied by violets, tobacco, graphite, cedar, smoke and gravelly minerality. Mature vintages offer savoury notes of leather, truffle and forest floor, while the younger wines display vibrant fruit, floral perfume, fine tannins and impressive ageing potential.
