Description

The Grand Vin from this Pessac-Léognan property, Les Carmes Haut-Brion, charms everyone with its magnificent balance between finesse and character, density and liveliness. To achieve this, the château chooses varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which draw their nutrients from the gravel soils that rest on a clay-limestone bedrock and are then vinified in temperature-controlled, cone-shaped stainless steel vats.

The wine is later aged in small and large wooden barrels (with a high proportion of new wood) and earthenware jars.
