Château La Tour Carnet
Beyond its moat and medieval stonework, Château La Tour Carnet in the Médoc wears time lightly: since the 12th century a stern tower has watched over the gravel rises of Saint‑Laurent. Classified 4ème Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the estate has long balanced heritage with purposeful renovation.
Under Bernard Magrez, the vineyard has been re‑read plot by plot. Cabernet and Merlot root through deep gravels over calcareous clay, natural drainage sharpening definition. Grapes are selected with severity, then moved with minimal handling when possible. Fermentations are managed with parcellaire discipline and gentle extraction; élevage in barrels stretches the line rather than adding gloss.
The result is a Haut‑Médoc signature built on structure and lift—precise, restrained, and unmistakably shaped by place, not by fashion.Château La Tour Carnet
