Chateau La Tour Carnet Haut Medoc Grand Cru Classe 2023

Château La Tour Carnet Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé 2023 is a polished Bordeaux red from one of the Médoc’s most historic estates. Built around Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot, it combines classic Left Bank structure with the approachability and freshness of a современный 2023 vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-purple colour with a lively, youthful rim. The nose opens with blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum, and violet, layered with cedar, graphite, spice, and a subtle hint of toast from élevage. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with ripe but fresh tannins, bright acidity, and a core of dark berry fruit supported by savoury mineral notes and a refined oak frame. It should develop nicely over time, gaining complexity and softness with several years of cellar aging, while also offering early charm in its youth.

Production
Sourced from the Haut-Médoc on Bordeaux’s gravelly Left Bank, the estate benefits from well-drained soils that favour Cabernet Sauvignon and help produce structured, age-worthy wines. The grapes are harvested with careful selection, then vinified in a classic Bordeaux style to preserve fruit purity, balance, and fine tannins, with aging in oak adding depth and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, and mushroom-based dishes, as well as hard cheeses like Comté or aged cheddar. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if opening young to help the aromatics and tannins open up.

Producer
Château La Tour Carnet is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, with a history dating back centuries and a reputation anchored by its Grand Cru Classé status from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Today it remains a respected name in the Haut-Médoc, known for producing wines that reflect the region’s classic character, structure, and aging potential.
