Chateau Haut-Carles Fronsac

Constance and Stéphane Droulers, driven by the desire to create a prestige wine capable of rivalling with the finest of Bordeaux wines, launched Haut-Carles in 1994. It is the quintessential wine of the Domaine de Carles. Elaborated and matured to haute couture standards, in mostly all-new oak barrels, it enjoys a tightly-woven structure and entices with its opulence and suavity. Haut Carles, located in the Fronsac appellation in the Right Bank of Bordeaux is one of the older estates in the appellation. The actual Haut Carles chateau dates back to the 1400’s, when it was used as a fortress. You can easily visualize this due to the fortified towers that still remain. The property was originally owned by the De Carles family, which of course is where its name came from. The historic property is on the supplementary register of historical monuments in France.
