I am delighted to offer a small allocation of four cases of Château Les Carmes Haut Brion 2023. Averaging 96 points in 2023 and featuring a 30.9% reduction in price from the previous vintage, this is wine comes with my STRONG BUY recommendation.
6x75cl - £456 12x75cl - £912 all in bond The 2023 release from this outstanding estate in PessacLéognan follows four equally highly-rated vintages, averaging a Neal Martin score of 95.5 points. Named after the Carmelite Order of nuns who used to own the vineyard, Les Carmes Haut Brion is as close as Bordeaux gets to a true urban winery; you can get here on the tram from the city centre. Cases en primeur are very hard to come by and appreciate in value when physical, in normal market conditions. Judged by Liv-Ex as well below the fair value line, this is an asset-worthy release and is a wine all Fine Wine investors should snap up, either in cases of 6 or 12 bottles. Full investment data for this compelling release can be found overleaf.
Neal Martin, the leading Bordeaux critic, awarded this Pontet Canet 94-96 points, writing: “The 2023 Les Carmes Haut Brion offers plenty of dark berry fruit mixed with cedar and pinecones on the nose, very well defined and focussed. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, and the acidity is very well-judged. Just a soupçon of white pepper appears toward the finish. This is a much more succinct Les Carmes than the 2022, but it’s extremely harmonious and characterful.”. This is an increased allcoation for Clos Fine Wine and as such is offered on a first come, first served basis. Les Carmes Haut Brion 2023 comes with my personal STRONG BUY recommendation as a wine that will stand out in any cellar in years to come, and which will add real value to any Fine Wine investment portfolio.
