Château La Tour Carnet is a great red wine from the Haut-Médoc 4th Grand Cru Classé in 1855. It is a supple wine that can be enjoyed quite young while also offering a good longevity.

Built in 1111, this authentic feudal castle is instantly recognizable by its imposing quadrangular tower and thick surrounding walls. Its history follows that of France from the 12th century, from the Hundred Years War to the great phylloxera epidemic. It was in the 16th century that the cultivation of vines developed and with it, the quality of the wines.

The terroir of Château La Tour Carnet is just as unique with soils composed of superb gravel and with the famous butte of La Tour Carnet, a clay-limestone mound unique of its kind in the Médoc, which is particularly well suited to Merlot which makes up 50% of the red wine blend.

The grapes are harvested by hand and the Merlot grapes are vinified in small capacity cement vats, while the Cabernet grapes are vinified in wooden vats. The wine is aged in16-month barrels, 30% of which are new.
