Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 2014 (750ml)

Elegant yet intensely aromatic, the 2014 Les Carmes Haut-Brion offers lifted notes of violets, lavender, crushed stones and graphite, layered over fresh raspberry and blueberry fruit. Medium-bodied, the palate is finely textured and pure, balancing ripe fruit with bright, saline minerality. 40% whole bunch fermentation adds energy and depth, giving the wine a unique savoury complexity. Already charming but with the structure to age gracefully, this marks a turning point vintage for the estate's precision-driven style.
