Winemaker Notes
A dense, flavorful red with blackberry and black-olive character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Chewy and solid.
About Winery
Château La Tour Carnet’s origins trace back to the Middle Ages, with its fortified castle built around 1120 and later associated with Jean de Foix and Jean Carnet, whose name the estate carries. The château played a role during the Hundred Years’ War and became a cultural landmark in the 16th century, frequented by poets and scholars. Its vineyards were formally established in 1407, and by the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it was recognized as one of the prestigious Fourth Growths of the Haut-Médoc. The estate spans over 126 hectares, with 73 hectares under vine, planted mainly to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. In modern times, the château has been revitalized under the ownership of Bernard Magrez (since 1999), who introduced cutting-edge techniques such as cryogenic cooling of harvested grapes to preserve aromatic precision. Today, Château La Tour Carnet represents a blend of deep historical heritage and innovative winemaking, producing wines that embody both tradition and modern craftsmanship.
