Details

The history of La Tour Carnet merges with the history of France. Bearing the name of the squire who infallibly helped his Lord to resist French royalty at the end of the Hundred Years War, Château La Tour Carnet played a major role in the revolution of the Médoc vineyards and the quality of its wine, rewarded by the entry in the classification of Grands Crus Classés of 1855. The diversity of its terroir and the constant search for perfection make this Haut-Médoc an exceptional wine.

Since purchasing the estate in 2000, Bernard Magrez has returned the estate’s Château, cellars and 311 hectares to their glory days, marrying cutting-edge technology with traditional savoir-faire.

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2020 is a very deep, with a brilliant ruby red color. The first nose is very fruity with notes of ripe fruit, in particular blackcurrant and blackberry. This perception becomes more complex when stirred with vanilla notes that underline the fruity perception. On the palate, we quickly notice the silky and the finesse of the tannins which give a very elegant density and good balance. The evolution is powerful but controlled until the long and smooth finish.
