Over het wijnhuis | Château La Tour Carnet is een 4e Grand Cru Classé, gevestigd in Saint-Laurent de Médoc. Het is in handen van Bernard Magrez, die een bijzondere titel op zijn naam heeft staan. Hij is namelijk de enige Bordeaux-eigenaar die vier Crus Classés tot zijn buit mag rekenen: Château Fombrauge (Saint Emilion), Château Pape Clement (Graves), Clos Haut-Peyraguey (Sauternes) en Château La Tour Carnet (Médoc). Maar dat is niet alles, Bernard Magrez bezit nog tientallen wijnhuizen in en buiten Bordeaux. |

Awards | "Aromas of raspberries, crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and loamy soil introduce the 2020 La Tour Carnet, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished wine that's more harmonious and better balanced than Magrez's Grands Chênes. This large estate has eaten up many of the Haut-Médoc's non-classified growths over the past decade to arrive at a surface area of over 130 hectares today." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Tight and linear with blackcurrant and lemon rind character. Medium-bodied and racy with very fine tannins and a bright finish. Shows energy and focus. Drinkable, but better in three or four years." - James Suckling "Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Petit Verdot. Deepest crimson. The aroma is open with both fruit and oak sweetness, toasty and inviting. But the oak is a little too dominant for the depth of fruit, and the tannins rather firm. Reasonable freshness, toasty oak on the palate. Milk-chocolate aftertaste. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 La Tour Carnet was impressive from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a composed and understated bouquet that grows in stature with aeration. A second bottle had a more accentuated marine scent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, nicely judged acidity, very harmonious with an expressive, lightly spiced and persistent finish. Excellent." - Vinous "Crisp and crunchy, though quite chalky and creamy with licks of liquorice and wet stone. Quite high-toned, feels tight and very coiled right now with clear cedar, cinnamon and clove spice. The fruit profile is good, ripe blackcurrant and blueberries, but the whole frame is constricted almost straight away. Does feel clean though with firmness. It has a classicism in the sleek nature - well formed with estate signature. " - Decanter |
