Chateau La Tour Carnet Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé (750ml)
- In stock
- Kosher for Passover
Chateau La Tour Carnet is among the most historic estates in Haut-Médoc. It was ranked in the 1855 classification, and Bernard Magrez owns it today. This is its kosher Grand Cru Classé, a medium garnet-purple wine that is earthy and floral with red and black fruit. It has the kind of pedigree that earns the long pour at Yom Tov.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows black cherry, cassis, dried violet, and cedar, with a touch of pencil shavings and earth. It is medium-bodied and full of energy. The red and black fruits are in tight focus, the tannins are fine-grained, and the savory mid-palate carries notes of leather and tobacco. It is long and structured, with cedar, dark fruit, and a refined mineral edge.
Food Pairing
Pour it with standing rib roast, dry-aged steak, leg of lamb, or slow-braised short ribs, or at a holiday meal where the wine is the point.
Cassis, cedar, classified-growth gravitas.
