Château La Tour Carnet - Bordeaux - White - 2017 :

 

The Timeless Elegance of Château La Tour Carnet, 4ème Cru Classé

The magnificent Château La Tour Carnet, a designated Fourth Growth in the esteemed 1855 Classification, is a veritable piece of French history in the Haut-Médoc. Owned by the visionary Bernard Magrez, the estate benefits from a superb terroir of Guntz gravel over limestone-clay, which is the secret to its signature structure and longevity. This is a classic Bordeaux built for the long haul, offering true investment potential and drinking pleasure.

Tasting Profile & Structure

• Appearance: Rich, deep garnet.
• Aromas: The nose is sophisticated, presenting a core of dark fruit-black plum and cassis-interwoven with savory notes of liquorice, cedarwood, and a hint of smoky toast from the French oak.
• Taste: Full and generous on the palate, the wine possesses a dense yet elegant framework of fine-grained tannins. It is beautifully balanced, showcasing both the power of a great Médoc and a refined, persistent finish that speaks of its superior quality.

Service & Food Matching

Serve between 16°C and 18°C. We suggest decanting for an hour to soften the tannins and enhance the aromatic expression.

• Food Matches: The classic Steak and Kidney Pie, traditional Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, hearty Game dishes (Venison), or a platter of Mature Cheddar and Stilton.
