Château La Tour Carnet voit ses origines remonter au XIIe siècle, ce qui fait de lui le plus ancien Château du Médoc. Son architecture est de type médiéval avec une tour construite en 1120, ceinturée de douves. Il a connu des propriétaires célèbres dont la famille de Michel de Montaigne, l’un des plus grands philosophes français, auteur des Essais, et qui fut deux fois Maire de Bordeaux. Château La Tour Carnet, grand cru classé, appartient aujourd’hui à Bernard Magrez.
Le vignoble du Château La Tour Carnet a été implanté dans l’année 1407. Le domaine se caractérise par une terre composée d’un socle d’argile fortement calcaire recouvert d’une épaisse couche de graves gunziennes, constituant la fameuse « butte de La Tour Carnet ». Au Château La Tour Carnet, la maîtrise des rendements est primordiale. Une taille adéquate, un entretien rigoureux, des éclaircissages raisonnés permettent d’obtenir une faible quantité de raisins mais exceptionnellement concentrés.
Dans ce sillage qualitatif, Bernard Magrez a d’ores et déjà entrepris un programme de restauration et de rénovation. Il s’agit de hisser La Tour Carnet non seulement au niveau d’excellence reconnu aux grandes heures de ses huit siècles d’existence, mais aussi d’exalter l’un des terroirs les plus originaux du Médoc par toute les connaissances et techniques d’aujourd’hui. Afin de continuer, pour selon les termes de sa précédente propriétaire des lieux, Marie-Claire Pèlegrin, de tailler ce diamant...
