*LYING UNDER BOND, OCTAVIAN. ADDITIONAL DELIVERY CHARGES MAY APPLY*
One of the oldest buildings in the Médoc, parts of the chateau of La Tour Carnet were a fortress occupied by by the English in the 12th century. When Bordeaux returned to French rule La Tour Carnet (called Chateau de St. Laurent at the time) fell into ruin and passed through the hands of a succession of owners before being bought by the Leutken family, who owned it for a substantial period of time. La Tour Carnet is currently owned by Bernard Magrez, who also owns Château Pape-Clément in Pessac-Léognan. Since acquiring the property in 1999, Magrez has more than quadrupled the area of vineyards here.

"The 2005 La Tour Carnet is a delicious, affordable wine off the list with lovely early tertiary notes and more than enough fruit to drink well for at least another handful of years. This is a brilliant showing." Antonio Galloni
