An inky, bluish-black color, this wine has deep black raspberry and blueberry notes mixed with charcoal, graphite and subtle smoke. Rich, full-bodied and silky textured, this complex, stunning Pessac-L?ognan from this tiny jewel of a vineyard near Haut Brion is hitting all the high notes in 2012. It should drink well for 15-20. This is another bottled wine that dramatically out-performed its barrel sample.

Les Carmes Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 2012 (Magnum 1.5L)
Cabernet Blends | France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Our last magnum from this incredible estate in Pessac Leognan with a heavy dose of cab franc that is extremely rare to see in Bordeaux. The infamous Stephan Derenoncourt puts his magic touch on these wines and they are incredible. These rare mags are just coming into their own and in this format will continue to improve with even decades more in the cellar.
