The Grand Cru Classé with a Medieval Heritage

Château La Tour Carnet, a prestigious 4ème Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 Classification, is one of the Médoc’s oldest properties, complete with a working moat and drawbridge. This historic site, now under the meticulous care of Bernard Magrez, delivers a wine that bridges classic Bordeaux structure with modern concentration, representing superb value within the Grand Cru hierarchy.

Tasting Profile: Depth and Finesse

Expect a wine of deep colour and an expressive nose, dominated by concentrated black fruit (cassis, blackberry) and savoury notes of wet tobacco leaf and liquorice. The palate is dense and full, showcasing the powerful, chewy tannins typical of Haut-Médoc, which are beautifully softened by a luscious mid-palate of ripe fruit. The wine’s underlying freshness provides lift, ensuring a long and elegant finish that promises significant longevity in the cellar.

Food Pairing & Service Tips

This is a wine that demands robust food and a bit of patience. Decant for 60-90 minutes to allow the tertiary notes to emerge.

• Serve At: 16-18°C
