About Château les Carmes Haut-Brion
Château les Carmes Haut-Brion is located near Château Haut-Brion and has its vineyards in the Pessac region. The domain covers 40 Ha and owes its name to the Carmelites of Bordeaux.
It is especially since the takeover of the domain in 2010 that the wine can be labeled as a rising star. The new owner, Patrice Pichet, invested with passion in the estate, the infrastructure and the vineyard. Thanks to the artisanal tandem formed by director Guillaume Pouthier and oenologist consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt, nature was given a greater say in the domain: the horse was reintroduced into the vineyard and various crops were planted to promote biodiversity.
The typical boat-shaped building designed by Philippe Starck includes reception areas and new cellars. The whole includes art in the cellar, on the domain and in the bottle!
