Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion 2023 is an exclusive red wine from Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux, France, crafted in a vintage that combines freshness, precision, and great aromatic depth. The blend consists of 50% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Merlot, making the wine a distinctive expression of the château's unique style, where finesse, energy, and structure go hand in hand.

On the nose, the wine opens with intense and refined notes of dark berries, mulberry, raspberry, violet, rose petals, orange peel, spices, and a hint of smoke. The palate is full-bodied and precise with a juicy fruit core, silky tannins, and vibrant freshness, which gives the wine both depth and lift. The finish is long, mineral, and elegant with a beautiful salty nerve, highlighting the wine's terroir and great complexity.

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion 2023 is vinified with 60% whole clusters and aged in a combination of 70% new oak barrels, 20% large wooden vats, and 10% amphora, which contributes to the wine's unique texture, aromatic complexity, and aging potential. The result is a modern and characterful Bordeaux with both intensity, finesse, and a very individual style.

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion 2023 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, duck, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. It is an ideal wine for those seeking a grand Bordeaux with elegance, personality, and excellent development potential. Supplied in 75 cl.

98 /100

Slightly higher in Cabernet Franc than usual, the 2023 Les Carmes Haut-Brion opens with a nuanced bouquet of cassis, cassis leaf, licorice, dark berries, wisteria and blueberry. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy yet strikingly linear, it’s defined by a tensile structure and a crystalline precision that gives the wine remarkable clarity. The tannins are exquisitely refined—silky yet laser-focused—imparting a sense of purity and balanced. Despite 90% new oak, the élevage is seamlessly absorbed, shaping the wine’s structure without encroaching on its intrinsic balance and precision. Kudos!

Elderflower and peony aromatics, stunning inky plum colour that is very much a signature of Carmes, where it looks so enticing and ripe visually, and then on the palate you feel this contrasting vibrant lift and drinkability. Back to the signature squid ink flavour that is the key marker of ripe Cabernet in the vintage, and here the grippy slate texture slows everything down, slowly humming through the palate. Has a sappy drinkability, with crushed rose petals and salted cracker salinity. 60% whole cluster, harvest September 11 to 25. 3.6ph. Distinctive, intense, one for Carmes lovers to celebrate.

95-97. Barrel Sample. With 80% of the two Cabernets, including 50% of Cabernet Franc that thrives on the chalk and clay soil, this wine is richly structured and with great fruits even at this stage. It is a dynamic wine, full of rich black fruits and a velvet texture.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
