Le Château La Tour Carnet is a magnificent 12th-century medieval building surrounded by a moat in the heart of the Haut-Médoc appellation. It was inherited by Squire Carnet from Lord Jean de Foy. The vineyard was established in 1407.
The Château La Tour Carnet was named Fourth Grand Cru Classé in the famous Médoc wine classification of 1855, made official for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
It is today owned by businessman Bernard Magrez, who continues to innovate and invest in it, both in the vineyard and the winery, making this Grand Cru a true model.
The vineyard rests on Günzian gravel soils on a clay-limestone bedrock, covering an area of 178 hectares planted with 59% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet franc. The grand vin is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 33% of which are new. The Second wine of the property is called Les Pensées de la Tour Carnet.
Since 2020, a white wine Sec is produced on the property, Château La Tour Carnet white, from 1.25 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon vines.
The Château La Tour Carnet embodies the excellence of the Médoc Grands Crus Classés, offering complex, fine and seductive wines.
An iconic estate in the Haut-Médoc, La Tour Carnet boasts a vast vineyard characterized by a wide variety of terroirs, allowing for a nuanced and full expression of the vintage. In 2025, particularly favorable weather conditions allowed the grapes to ripen optimally, promoting both concentration and balance.
The harvest, sourced from rigorously selected plots, underwent high-precision optical sorting. Gravity-fed vatting, combined with an innovative system, preserves the integrity of the berries. Winemaking, conducted on a plot-by-plot and bespoke basis, relies on controlled extractions to reveal the full richness of the terroirs. This precision work, supported by a commitment to ongoing research in the face of climate challenges, gives the wine a distinct identity.
On the palate, the wine presents a brilliant color, adorned with deep purple highlights, reflecting the vintage’s concentration. The nose opens with aromas of fresh red fruit, gradually evolving into spicy notes that add complexity and depth. On the palate, the attack is clean and precise, giving way to a smooth and seductive texture. The body is harmonious, supported by elegant tannins that structure the wine without harshness. The balance between freshness and ripeness is particularly well-achieved, giving the wine a beautiful fluidity. The finish, long and expressive, prolongs the fruity and spicy notes with remarkable persistence.
A accomplished and expressive Tour Carnet 2025, combining precision, richness, and elegance in a style faithful to the richness of its terroirs.
