James Suckling

A structured La Tour Carnet with dark currant, bark and wet earth. Medium to full body. Should develop nicely.

A beautiful dark red.

Nose

Intense fruity bouquet with aromas of blueberries, blackcurrant and peppermint.

Palate

Fruity entry, soft and tender. A medium-bodied vintage, supported by perfectly integrated tannins and a juicy and fresh structure.

Wine-growing terroir

The Château La Tour Carnet wine estate has a terroir which is characterized by a land composed of a base of heavily limestone clay covered with a thick layer of gravel contributing as much to the originality of the landscape as to the organoleptic specificity of its production.

Winemaking

Vinification in small vats by bleeding, maceration for 25 to 32 days, fermentation for 8 to 9 days, aging for 12 months (punctuated by frequent racking) in oak barrels, 50% of which is new wood.

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box
