Ruby-red color with violet reflections. Aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry, highlighted by delicate notes of pepper, vanilla, and tobacco from aging. On the palate, a strong fruit attack, followed by noticeable elements of structure, acidity, and gentle tannins. A good balance between fruitiness and minerality. The finish is long and elegant. The history of La Tour Carnet is intertwined with the history of France. The vineyard was named in honor of a medieval squire who helped his lord resist the French monarchy at the end of the Hundred Years' War. The quality of the wine has been recognized with a classification in the Grand Cru Classé of 1855. The diversity of soils and the constant pursuit of excellence make this Haut-Médoc a unique wine.
