Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion – Pessac-Léognan – Red – 2010:

 

The Signature of Pessac-Léognan: Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion

The C des Carmes Haut-Brion is far more than a second label; it is a stunning and accessible expression of the prestigious Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Sourced from exceptional Graves terroir, this red wine masterfully balances the finesse typical of a great Bordeaux Cru with an inviting aromatic appeal even in its early years. It promises both immediate drinking pleasure and significant cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes: A Profile in Elegance

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant purple hue, indicating excellent concentration.
• Nose: A rich and complex bouquet, led by intense aromas of ripe blackcurrant and plum, beautifully framed by elegant notes of cedar, sweet spices, and a subtle hint of rose petal.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is silky and velvety, with fine, perfectly integrated tannins. A lively freshness provides structure and dynamism, resulting in a juicy, persistent wine that finishes long on dark fruit and liquorice.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve between 60°F and 64°F (16°C-18°C). Decanting for a few hours is highly recommended for younger vintages. This wine is the perfect partner for upscale, flavorful dishes.
