Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion was founded in 1584, when a 101-year-old aristocrat decided to give part of his estate to a community of friars called Les Carmes. Robert Parker has called it “a tiny gem of an estate (that) offers superb wines…”

Château Clinet one of the smallest and most prestigious Pomerol estates. Robert M. Parker Jr. has noted that the estate has “a magnificent terroir…” and that Clinet “continues to produce one of the finest Pomerols.”
