Château La Tour Carnet
Bordeaux wine trip
HISTORY
Named after the medieval squire, Jean Carnet, who helped his Lord to resist the French monarchy at the end of the Hundred Years War, Château La Tour Carnet played a major role in the revolution of the Médoc vineyard. The quality of its wine is rewarded by the entry in the classification of 1855 Grands Crus Classés.
Château La Tour Carnet is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine producers in the Médoc. In fact, some parts of the building, including the round tower, date back to the 11th century. Château La Tour Carnet is one of the few Bordeaux estates to have a moat and drawbridge.
Since purchasing the estate in 2000, Bernard Magrez has returned the estate’s Château, cellars and 311 hectares to their glory days, marrying cutting -edge technology with traditional savoir-faire. In the words of the previous caretaker of this national monument, Marie-Claire Pèlegrin, it is Bernard Magrez’s mission here to “cut the diamond.”
