HAUT-CARLES
Red

Selection of the best parcels of Château de Carles (10 ha out of the 20 ha of the estate), certainly the finest and most ambitious wine of Fronsac, making since 2000 equal game with the best classified growths of the slopes of Saint-Émilion. A great wine that should be kept for at least 6 to 8 years.

Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2024 Haut-Carles has a more opulent bouquet than the regular cuvée, although it doesn't quite have the same terroir expression or delineation. The palate has more sweetness and substance, grippier tannins, minerally black fruit and a harmonious finish. This is still a well-crafted wine that will just require a bit longer in bottle."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 88-90/100 "The 2024 Haut-Carles is laced with macerated dark cherry, spice, new leather, cedar and menthol. There's commendable complexity and dynamic energy here. The 20% stems add aromatic presence and vibrancy without dominating the balance. This is nicely done."
