Ships in 2-3 Weeks 

Château La Tour Carnet stands as one of the most historically significant and visually striking estates in the Médoc, proudly holding its Grand Cru Classé status from the 1855 classification. Its origins trace back to the 12th century, with its iconic medieval tower and surrounding moat offering a tangible link to a rich past, making it one of the oldest properties in the region. Situated in the Haut-Médoc appellation, north of Saint-Julien, the estate has benefited from significant investment and meticulous attention to detail under the ownership of Bernard Magrez since 1999, who has consistently worked to elevate its quality and showcase the potential of its diverse terroir.

 The estate's vineyards, planted predominantly with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, thrive on a mix of Günzian gravel hilltops and clay-limestone soils. This terroir, combined with modern winemaking techniques and careful oak ageing, typically yields wines that are robust yet refined. La Tour Carnet is known for producing full-bodied wines with rich dark fruit flavours, notes of spice and earth, and a firm tannic structure that allows for considerable ageing potential, often representing excellent value within the classified growth hierarchy.
