Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, 2000
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion sits just across the road from the illustrious Haut-Brion, within the city limits of Bordeaux itself—one of the few vineyards remaining inside the urban landscape. The estate takes its name from the Carmelite monks who owned it from 1584 to the French Revolution. The property was acquired by Patrice Pichet in 2010 and has since become one of Pessac-Léognan's most talked-about wines, though this 2000 vintage predates that era. The wine unusually features a high proportion of Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it a distinctive aromatic lift. At 25 years old from a celebrated vintage, this is mature Bordeaux showing complex aromatics of tobacco, earth, and evolved fruit, with the signature smoky, gravelly character of the appellation.
