Les Douves de la Tour Carnet

The origins of La Tour Carnet lie in the Middle Ages, although the exact details are lost in the mists of time.

The current owner is Bernard Magrez, who is the proprietor of a number of other Bordeaux estates, most notably Pape Clément in Pessac-Léognan and Fombrauge in Saint Émilion.

The estate is characterized by soils composed of a highly chalky clay base covered with a thick layer of Gunzian gravel, making up the famous "butte de La Tour Carnet".
