Surrounded by the city and separated from Haut-Brion by a few pavilions, Les Carmes is one of the last vestiges of the prestigious local vineyard. Its gravels are of the same type as those of Tour Haut-Brion or La Mission Haut-Brion, which allows the château to produce a remarkable and consistent wine, with the finesse and subtle smokiness of true Pessac-Léognan.
