18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Klassisches, fein-würziges Médocbouquet, leicht rauchiger Cabernet, zeigt eine schöne Tiefe. Im Gaumen noch selten so fein erlebt und fast cremig in der Textur, die Tannine wirken geschliffen oder sind halt doch reif geworden, erst im Nachklang kommen die Muskeln zum Tragen und geben diesem La Tour-Carnet seinen eigentümlichen Charakter wieder zurück. warten (2018 - 2038)

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. However, I suspect its best days are at least 5-7 years ahead of it. It should keep for a minimum of two decades. One of the few classified growths in the southern end of the Medoc south of Margaux, La Tour Carnet has been owned for a number of years by Bernard Magrez. It is one of the most picturesque chateaux in Bordeaux, dating from the 12th century, with real towers and a Camelot-style moat surrounding it. A large estate, they have been making top-flight wines for well over a decade, yet the prices remain very realistic for a classified growth Bordeaux. The 2009, which boasts Michel Rolland as the consultant, was a final blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest tiny dollops of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

A linear wine with very good fruit and plum characters. Full body with firm tannins and a mineral and fruit finish. Better in 2016.

Plump and ripe, with a warm edge to the steeped plum, cherry and currant fruit, which mingles gently with light toasty vanilla and tobacco on the finish. A supple, approachable style. Drink now through 2017. 23,330 cases made. –JM

Château La Tour Carnet
Datant du 12ème siècle, La Tour Carnet est un authentique château médiéval entouré de douves. Château le plus ancien du Médoc, il doit son nom à l’écuyer Carnet, qui a combattu vaillamment aux côtés du seigneur Jean de Foy. Le courage et le dévouement de Carnet étaient tels qu’il a fini par hériter de la propriété. Eléonore, sœur de Michel de Montaigne, figure parmi ses illustres propriétaires durant le 16ème siècle. L’actuel propriétaire, Bernard Magrez, à qui appartient également le Château Pape Clément, a consacré des efforts et des investissements colossaux à la rénovation de la propriété, notamment le vignoble, les caves et le château. L’effeuillage et la vendange en vert sont pratiqués pour diminuer les rendements dans une optique d’amélioration de la qualité. Les raisins sont vendangés manuellement et transportés en petites cagettes, puis triés et égrappés avant d’être transférés par gravité dans les cuves de vinification en bois et enfin aux barriques. Il ne s’agit là que de quelques-unes des pratiques employées. Elles contribuent à l’excellence de cette propriété qui figure dans le prestigieux classement de 1855.
