Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 2019 Region:Bordeaux A cheerful and bright red

A cheerful and bright red from the Arribes del Duero region on the western edge of Spain

an eclectic array of grapes and wines he ages and releases “when they’re ready”

In a field as subjective as wine

before a beautifully crisp finish

Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 2019 Region:Bordeaux A cheerful and bright red"One of my favourite wines in 2019, immediately captivating with a lasting impression. Gorgeous dark purple in the glass with blackcurrant notes, perfumed violets, dark chocolate and hints of truffle the old vine Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) giving aromatic intensity on the nose and palate. Succulent straight away with ripe cherry, blood orange and pink grapefruit flavours set against soft, mouthwatering acidity and a lovely saline grip to the tannins.
