Description

A fruity and fresh dry white Bordeaux wine

The estate

With origins dating back to the 12th century, Château La Tour Carnet is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc region. The estate takes its name from its tower, built in 1120 and surrounded by a moat. In 1407, vines were planted at the estate. Owned by Bernard Magrez, this 1855 Classified Growth belongs to the elite wine estates of the Haut-Médoc.

The vineyard

Château La Tour Carnet blanc 2021 is a Bordeaux dry white wine made from a 1.25-hectare vineyard. The vines are 20 years old on average and are planted on clay-limestone soils. The vineyard of Château La Tour Carnet has been awarded the High Environmental Value Level 3 label.
