Ch Caronne Ste Gemme is a Cru Bourgeois Haut Medoc, a 45 ha property lying on the border of St.Julien, next to the 2nd Growth Ch Gruaud Larose.
It has been shipped directly from the Chateau so is in prime condition.
This silky wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon lead blend, backed up with a decent amount of Merlot and a sprinkling of Petit Verdot. It is now made by Francois Nony, who over the last few years has injected a new lease of life into the wine. He has softened the style and it is now much more fruit driven, the 18 months oak ageing is neatly balanced.
“Steady, stylish quality, repays patience. At minor Cru Classé level.” Hugh Johnson
