Château La Tour Carnet 2018, a 4th Grand Cru Classé, unveils a refined interpretation of the Haut-Médoc AOC. This 75 cl bottle is aimed at enthusiasts who expect more from a great Bordeaux than mere table accompaniment: presence, depth and a dialogue between fruit, texture and time. From the Bordeaux region, this French red combines a deep, intense colour with an aromatic profile where black fruits meet zesty freshness and a mineral nuance. The 2018 vintage expresses generous fruit, structured by a broad, fleshy palate. The tannins, both firm and silky, shape a sustained finish designed to accompany bold gastronomy. Served between 16 and 18 °C, Château La Tour Carnet 2018 brings that Bordeaux elegance to the table reminiscent of a classical work: a precise architecture enriched with a sensitive breath.

Blend and ageing, the composition of a great Médoc expression

This cuvée brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This blend creates a nuanced body where the wine's density retains its line and brightness. The ageing in oak barrels, partially new, supports the wine with restraint and contributes to its depth. The aim is not to mask the fruit but to provide a setting, a framework capable of sustaining the wine's breadth and the silky texture of the tannins. The result is a well-built, expressive and harmoniously structured Haut-Médoc. Its personality suits those who appreciate Bordeaux reds that are both generous and precise, able to add character to a refined meal without ever overpowering the cuisine that accompanies them.

Tasting notes

Serving temperature and tasting ritual

Serve this red wine between 16 and 18 °C to preserve the balance between its aromatic generosity, zesty freshness and the finesse of its tannic structure. At this temperature, the notes of black fruit and citrus come through with greater clarity, while the palate gradually reveals its volume.
