92 Points La Revue du Vin de France
The highly sought-after second wine of Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, the 2017 Le C des Carmes showcases the estate's innovative approach to Bordeaux winemaking. Sourced from vineyards in Martillac and crafted from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it offers vibrant aromas of red berries, white pepper, thyme, fresh herbs, and subtle spice. Partial whole-cluster fermentation, gentle infusion-style extraction, and aging in amphorae and French oak produce a silky, medium-bodied palate with refined tannins, exceptional freshness, and a long, elegant finish. A beautifully balanced Pessac-Léognan that delivers outstanding value while reflecting the finesse and precision of one of Bordeaux's most exciting estates.
