Owned by renowned Bordeaux vintner Bernard Magrez since 1999, Château La Tour Carnet is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, with origins dating back to the 12th century. The château remains famous for its medieval tower, moat, and drawbridge, and was recognized as a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Cru Classé) in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Located in the Haut-Médoc near Saint-Julien, the estate combines centuries of history with modern precision viticulture and winemaking.
The 2019 vintage is a powerful yet polished expression of Haut-Médoc Bordeaux, offering layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, cocoa, and subtle spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured with refined tannins, balanced freshness, and a long, savory finish marked by dark fruit and classic Left Bank minerality. While approachable with decanting, the wine also possesses excellent aging potential.
Approximate varietal blend:
- 50% Merlot
- 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
A compelling classified-growth Bordeaux that overdelivers for its category, Château La Tour Carnet 2019 pairs beautifully with roasted meats, lamb, duck, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses.
