The history of Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion dates back to the 16th century and has been very consistent since its birth. In 1584, the lord of Haut-Brion, Jean de Pontac, gave the Grands Carmes a vast mill with meadows and vines. A haven of peace and a garden of abundance, the place was supplied with pure, living water from the inexhaustible source of the "eubrion" fountain.
