  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von schwarzen Kirschen, Heidelbeeren, ein Hauch von kandierten Orangenezsten und Cassis, frisch strukturiert, straff, präsente Tannine, feine Petit-Verdot-Würze, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, ein komplexer Speisenbegleiter mit gutem, sicherem Reifepotenzial, bereits gut entwickelt."

  The 2022 C Des Carmes Haut-Brion is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and the rest 1% Petit Verdot that was fermented with 30% whole clusters and aged 12 months in a new foudre (there's a small part in used barrels) followed by four months all in concrete tanks. There are fewer stems in this cuvée as the vines are younger, and it has a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a spicy, peppery, complex perfume of darker berry and plum fruits, spring flowers, tobacco leaf, and a beautiful sense of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, elegant, and loaded with character, it's a singular Pessac-Léognan that will have two decades of longevity."

  Decanter
  Seductive and deeply perfumed, this wine bursts with blackcurrants, cherries, and subtle spice. The crystalline acidity is immediately fresh and bright, while soft, delicate tannins create a silky texture without heaviness. It has energy and forward motion, balancing purity and precision. The Carmes signature shines through - pure fruit, supple tannins, and a long, elegant body. Flavours of cherry, damson plum, and redcurrant lead to a mineral, oyster-shell finish with a subtle salty tang. Both fresh and age-worthy, this is a beautifully framed, dynamic wine that leaves you wanting more. One of the best second wines. I love this. 31% whole bunch fermented."

  60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 39 % Merlot, 1 % Petit Verdot. Verspieltes Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, edle Cassiswürze, Flieder und Heidelbeergelee. Am komplexen Gaumen weiche Textur, stützende Rasse, engmaschiges Tanningerüst. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale ein Korb mit roten Kirschen, Wacholder und zarter Adstringenz. Dieser Zweitwein (aus Martillac) hat mich noch nie so verzaubert."

  The aromas just pop out of the glass, offering plenty of flowers, pears, berries, rose stems and fresh currants. Wild fruits, too. It's full-bodied with so much juicy fruit and a creamy texture. Already open and delicious, with wonderful intensity. 30% whole-cluster fermentation. Second wine of Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Best after 2027, but fantastic now."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2022 Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion is punching above its weight this year. Unfurling in the glass with a gourmand, lively and vibrant bouquet of raspberry, mulberries, rose, violet and cassis, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered with refined, velvety tannins and a deep core of fruit, concluding with a harmonious, elegant profile that avoids any excess, enhancing its distinctive personality. Guillaume Pouthier, Guillaume Deschepper and their team have done a fantastic job at this address, delivering an exceptional wine."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Herbs, sea salt, spice, and black cherries jump in the perfume. The palate is elegant, supple, fresh, and fruity, with vibrant, refined textures, and a mineral-driven finish. Using 30% whole bunches in the vinification, the wine blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged in 20% new, French oak barrels. Drink from 2025-2037."

  Silky tannins, cocoa bean, dill, sage and black pepper, smoked earth, undergrowth, saffran, along with austere tannins, and some gorgeous scraping salinty. This is great quality, if a little edgy right now. Will not be sold En Primeur, aged in 10% amphoras, 20% new barrels, 24 months in barrel then a further two years at the estate before release. 30% whole bunch fermentation. No irrigation, 38hl/h yield."
