Description

Blend: 30% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Merlot; 50% Cabernet Franc.

Tasting at Carmes Haut Brion with Guillaume Pouthier is both joyous and challenging. The wine is always superb and so much information and creative thinking is displayed, that it’s almost overwhelming. Every considered detail plays its part in this – one of Bordeaux’s most fascinating wines. There is more Cabernet Franc this year and it is hard to improve on Guillaume’s own adjectives: “freshness and drinkability”, “mineral finesse”, “notes of iris and violet with elderflower”. This is an intriguing and utterly believable voyage of discovery.
