Château Caronne Ste. Gemme (Haut-Médoc)
Medium-bodied with chewy red fruits, the wine is on the oaky side, giving it roundness, but also dryness in the finish. This is probably the last vintage for this popular Haut-Medoc as it was recently purchased by Bernard Magrez and it will probably be annexed into La Tour Carnet. Drink from 2023-2029. 83-85 2,295 Views Tasted May 20, 2022 |

Château Caronne Ste. Gemme (Haut-Médoc)
There is a strong herbaceous quality to the dark fruits and rustic tannins that some tasters are going to like much more than others. The dusty, crisp, fruit in the finish is the best part of the experience. The wine was produced from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. 3,947 Views Tasted Feb 3, 2014 |
