The estate
Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion, a large property in Pessac-Leognan, is located on the left bank of Bordeaux. Founded in the 16th century, this estate today delivers an expression of its terroir through the work of its visionary owner and the craftsmen working in the winery. Acquired in 2010 by the Pichet real estate group, Chateau Les Carmes-Haut-Brion is today one of the most distinguished wines of the Pessac-Leognan appellation.
