Chateau La Tour Carnet er indbegrebet af alle de forestillinger, man kan have om et gammelt fransk vinslot.
Mens vinden suser i de hvide spøgelsers underfundige lagen-agtige påklædninger, sørger voldgraven for at holde fremmede krigeriske slægter på afstand - og slottets ejer kan i ro og mag fordybe sig i at producere fremragende vin.
Bernard Magrez er et af de helt store navne på den internationale vinscene, og han har givet sig selv mulighed for at investere stort i de fineste franske områder. Chateau La Tour Carnet er blandt hans investeringer, og som et 4. cru-område med St. Julien som nabo, er vinen herfra ligeså bemærkelsesværdig som slottets historie og stemning. Det er storladen Medoc, der dog stadig er tilgængelig og indbydende - uanset hvor mange betænkeligheder voldgraven og spøgelsernes hærgen måtte give dig.

Magrez's flagship Haut-Médoc estate has been producing sterling wines over recent years and this is another success. Confident and ambitious as is his signature, this combines a gourmet raspberry puree feel with tight and controlled cassis and cedar notes, rolled up with a fresh mint finish. Real precision on display. Harvest September 20 to October 10. Now competing for the title of biggest estate in the Médoc at 176ha. Michel Rolland consultant, 30% new oak.

Offering up aromas of rich cassis and blackberry fruit mingled with burning embers, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, the 2019 La Tour Carnet is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a broad attack that segues into an ample core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids. This is a seamless, rather giving Médoc that has turned out very well.
Vinous - 91-93
The 2019 La Tour Carnet is fabulous. Deep and inky, it shows notes of graphite, scorched earth, cedar, tobacco and menthol. The 2019 needs time to shed some of its baby fat and reveal its full range of aromatics, but it is undeniably beautiful today. Best of all, the 2019 should be a fabulous deal.
