Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion

Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion is located in the Pessac-Leognan region on the southwestern border of Bordeaux, very close to Chateau Haut-Brion. The winery is a member of the Union Des Grands Crus De Bordeaux. In recent years, the wine has received high marks from many wine critics. The wines are regarded as one of the wineries with the highest return on investment in Bordeaux.

History Background

the winery dates back to 1584, when Jean De Pontac donated a mill surrounded by meadows and vineyards to the Carmelite Order of Notre Dame. The priests of the church will keep the name "Haut-Brion" for 200 years. Then use to gradually change the name to "Carmes Haut-Brion". Throughout this period, there has been no change in the ownership of the winery. In 1791, the church property was confiscated and the estate of Carmes Haut-Brion was confiscated by the state. At the beginning of the 19th century, the chateau was purchased by Bordeaux wine merchant Léon Colin and then passed down through generations of the Chantecaille-Furt family.

In 2010, the winery was sold to the Pichet Group. This prestigious acquisition fits naturally against the background of the group's business diversification. The group has invested heavily in the winery, substantially renovating the vineyards and winery, including purchasing more modern winemaking equipment. Patrice Pichet loves wine, but also design and architecture. Renowned designer Philippe Starck and architect Luc Arsène-Henry were hired in 2014 to rebuild the wine cellar, which was completed in 2015.
