Château la Tour Carnet 4ème Grand Cru Classé 2012
The wine
La Tour Carnet produces a concentrated, direct red wine which benefits from the experience of Bernard Magrez's teams. A great cru classé, good for keeping for 10-20 years.
A fine property with a medieval castle, tower, moat and drawbridge, Château La Tour Carnet has a single block of vines planted on clay-marly soil which was almost entirely replanted in the 1960s. This Haut-Médoc classified fourth growth is now owned by Bernard Magrez, who has undertaken significant investments and considerably developed the wine.
