Description

Bordeaux Red Blends from Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, France. 


Blend : 62% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc


This winegrowing estate goes back to the XIIth century, and is without a doubt one of the oldest châteaux in the Médoc. The medieval architecture features a towerbuilt in 1120 and the château is surmounded by a moat. La Tour Carnet has had several illustrious owners, including the family of Michel de Montaigne, one of thegreatest French philosophers and twice-elected Mayor of Bordeaux.


Robert Parker's Wine Advocates: 92


This dense purple wine displays notes of charcoal, subtle toast and white chocolate as well as blueberry and blackberry liqueur intermixed with hints of graphite and licorice. Dense, full-bodied, unctuously textured, and quite long and thick, this concentrated, impressively endowed wine is silky-textured and already accessible. It should keep for a minimum of two decades.

This is a Live Event Item.
