sweet red fruit on the nose with hints of black tea leaves
the 2018 Château Ormes De Pez checks in as 50% Merlot
the 2021 is a relatively open-knit
faint sea spray scents (a whiff of the old Gironde estuary) and just a touch of crushed stone
It’s a good one to pour with those lamb chops
2022 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan (Pre-Arrival) Meursault sweet red fruit on the100 points, The Wine Advocate "The 2022 Les Carmes Haut Brion is the finest wine bottled to date at this estate under Patrice Pichet's ownership and Guillaume Pouthier's direction. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of violet, iris, dark wild berries, pencil lead and mulberries, it's medium to full bodied, deep and concentrated with a deep core of fruit beautifully framed by velvety, precise tannins, segueing into a long, saline and perfumed finish.
