Description

Four lots of three bottles each fresh from a previously unopened original wooden case.

Les Carmes Haut Brion is a small 9 hectare estate neighbouring Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion in Pessac. Planted with 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. From 1584 to 1789 it was the property of Carmelite monks: after the Revolution it was in the hands of the French State until the 1890's.

With just 2000 cases produced per vintage Les Carmes will always remain a "confidential" wine, but one well worth discovering at a fraction of their illustrious neighbours...Neal Martin's notes below seem to suggest it has reached its peak, and curiously Christmas seems just around the corner, so a short auction period will allow time to ship and for the bottles to repose in good time...

Wine Journal Mar 2013 Neal Martin 87
Tasted at the chateau in Bordeaux. The 1996 has a rather obdurate bouquet with rustic black fruit tinged with cigar box and gravel scents. It is uncomplicated but nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a rather insubstantial opening, but it builds slightly towards a dark cherry, soy and sous-bois-tinged finish. This is still drinking well, though I would not leave it too much longer. Tasted November 2012
