Description

he vineyards are surrounded by the bungalows of suburban Bordeaux, and lie almost directly adjacent to those of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, with just a few rows of houses interposed between the two. The area planted to vines is very small, a mere 4.7 hectares, with very typical terroir, with Gunzian gravels dominating, with some sand and clay above. The vineyard has been extensively replanted by Didier Furt during his tenure, and the composition is a little unusual as Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc (40%) dominate, with Cabernet Sauvignon making up just 10% of the vignoble. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are planted at a density of 10000 vines/ha. There is a conscientious approach to vineyard management, with control of yields using pruning and debudding, and with canopy thinning and green harvesting during the summer. The harvest is manual, and once in the chai, which was refurbished in 1987, the must is macerated for between 15 and 24 days. Fermentation takes place in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks ranging from 40 to 80 hectolitres in size which thus facilitate plot-by-plot vinification, overseen by the Furt family with consultation from Yves Glories. The wines naturally go into oak, spending up to 18 months here, in casks which are 50% new in each vintage. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel. The resulting grands vins, red and white, are bottled after fining with egg white as Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion (together about 1800 cases), and there is a second wine Le Clos des Carmes (a mere 200 cases).
