Built in 1111, the tower of Château La Tour Carnet still dominates this great and exceptional vineyard today. Here the history of France is intertwined with that of the estate, which was to become the property of the Mon-taigne family, who gave France one of its most brilliant philosophers. Situated on an admirable terroir that pro-duces a great wine vintage after vintage, recognised for its elegance and its character, Château La Tour Carnet is undoubtedly part of the great history of the Classed Growths of the Haut-Médoc.
