97 Point Vintage Vinous Media: 2019 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion 'Le C des Carmes'

We’re coming at you with a blazing-hot offer!! You can experience the best of the best without burning a hole in your pocket.

If you’re not already familiar with Philippe Starck’s architectural masterpiece, take a look below. Les Carmes Haut-Brion was the #1 most in-demand wine of the 2022 Bordeaux Futures campaign with several 100-point scores pending. Most Bordeaux lovers are familiar with American-owned Château Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion. These wines stand alone at the apex of Pessac-Leognan and are priced between $500-750/btl. Here comes a neighboring wine from Les Carmes with huge scores and available at one-third to one-fourth of the price.

Today’s offer is the second wine from Les Carmes de Haut Brion Le “C”, the most talked about winery in Bordeaux. And, the price is less than what you’d pay for a burger and a couple of beers these days.

Not only is this second wine the talk of the town, but so is the vintage. 2019 has earned the title of "THE VINTAGE" –with a jaw-dropping 97-point vintage score not just good or great but exceptional, particularly for Pessac-Leognan.

Le “C” was awarded 96 points from Decanter, which is a stunning score for a second wine and it stands in a league of its own.

What makes these second wines so affordable, despite sharing the same winemakers and techniques? It's all about sourcing grapes from slightly younger vines in the same esteemed vineyards. This slight adjustment in vine age maintains quality while offering a more accessible price point.

Aging for 24 months in French oak barrels (over 80% new oak) contributes to its fullness and depth. And let's not forget, it's crafted by Stéphane Derenoncourt and Guillaume Pouthier – true wine legends!

The magic of master winemaking combined with the explosive vintage for left bank Bordeaux resulted in this masterpiece. Rich, powerful, complex, sophisticated, and downright delicious – it's the crème de la crème.

And what's better than drinking from the top of the pyramid? A great deal!

While top-notch wines often come with a hefty price tag, that's not the case with BHW! The 2019 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion 'Le C des Carmes is priced at $60, but you can grab it for only $44!

It’'s a steal – but hurry, the offer won't last long!

From the first sip, savor the aromas of cherries and violets, leading to a silky-smooth mouthfeel with hints of milk chocolate and a touch of salinity. But don't take our word for it – experience it yourself!

Indulge in luxury without breaking the bank.
