Château La Tour Carnet

Red wine | 4th Cru Classé, Haut-Médoc AC

Historical richness… and taste!
La Tour Carnet is a 12th century castle and a vineyard established in 1407! Its wines were recognized in 1855 when it became 4th Grand Cru Classé in the Bordeaux wine classification. It is a great red wine, complex, for aging, but it is already very fine in this vintage, with beautiful notes of blackberries and blackcurrant, a dense structure, which continues with finesse on the fruit.
