CHÂTEAU LA TOUR CARNET

On the road to Beychevelle, the impressive tower of the Tower La Tour Carnet rises in the axis of a monumental grid. If the walls of this veritable feudal castle were to speak, they would have brought us a history laden with history. Imagine in the 1855 th century a drum rolling to remove the loups and wild boar from the harvest time of the harvest, while défilerait in the th century "the ranking". At that time, the vineyard covers 52 hectares. Gradually destroyed by phylloxera and almost abandoned, it was in 1962 that its new owner, Louis Lipschitz, undertook to renovate, rebuild, and restore this large classified vintage. In 1978, his daughter Marie-Claire Pèlegrin continued his work with diligence, the vineyard was reconstituted over 45 hectares. Today, La Tour Carnet belongs to Bernard Magrez who, in the wake of his former owner, undertakes to raise the vineyard in the level of excellence and to exalt one of the most original land of Médoc, in order to continue, according to the terms of Marie-Claire Pèlegrin, to carve this diamond. A visit and a tasting is required.
