Vintage 2020

Written Notes

C des Carmes Haut Brion – it’s not the second wine of Les Carmes Haut Brion but a separate vineyard in the commune of Martillac. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. There were 20% of whole grape bunches included in vinification. 13.8% alcohol. 75% of 1-year-old barrels and foudres + 25% new oak. Lovely aromatic nose full of cherries and blackcurrants, fine midpalate with luscious berries and grained tannin, complex, fine acidity and lingering finish. It might be the best vintage yet for this property. 92-93p.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Expressive nose with typical Cabernet character yet in a quite opulent direction. Aroma reminiscent of ripe plums, blackberries, blueberries, black cherries, On the palate well structured with subtle oak, hints of dark chocolate, refined minerality, well balanced with fine acidity and almost silky tannins. Juicy fruit contributes to a wine with convincing length.
