One of the oldest chateaux in the Médoc

At Saint-Laurent-Médoc, enter the legend of one of the most beautiful buildings in the Médoc district, Chateau La Tour Carnet, which has been ranked as one of the most famous French wines since 1855. This authentic medieval chateau sits majestically at the end of an entrance road bordered with flowering lawns. You are struck by the beauty of the twelfth-century quadrangular tower. The magic continues as you pass the thick surrounding walls, which reveal magnificent furniture. The rooms – Montaigne or La Boétie – remind us that the great names of literature met here!

The largest vineyard in Saint-Emilion

Finally, walk through the French-style gardens of Chateau Fombrauge and discover its history: battles, wars and successions have all been part of the history of this area, which produced its first harvest in 1599. From the Canolle, in the sixteenth century, to Bernard Magrez today, six families have succeeded one another at the head of Chateau Fombrauge, giving a incomparable stability to the largest vineyard in Saint-Emilion.
