Château La Tour Carnet

Located near Bordeaux, in the heart of the Médoc region, Château La Tour Carnet is one of the oldest and most prestigious wine châteaux in the region. Its origins date back to the 12th century, and its medieval architecture, characterised by a tower built in 1120 and surrounded by a moat, bears witness to the property's rich historical past. The Château's vineyard extends over 115 hectares and is home to all the typical vines of the region, from Merlot to Cabernet Sauvignon, from Petit Verdot to Cabernet Franc. This diversity allows for the production of complex and harmonious wines, representative of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Since 2000, the property has been in the hands of Bernard Magrez, a visionary entrepreneur and sole owner of four Grands Crus Classés in Bordeaux: Château Pape Clément, Château Fombrauge, Clos Haut-Peyraguey and, of course, Château La Tour Carnet. Magrez has dedicated significant resources to restoring the château and modernising the winemaking infrastructure, while maintaining a deep respect for tradition.
