Château Caronne Ste. Gemme
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2016 is a great vintage for Caronne Ste Gemme, as it is for most - but this wine displays a rare sense of great harmony in such a young wine, with fresh aromas ranging from cherries to violets, blackcurrants and wet stones, all of which takes precedence over any secondary characteristics playing a supporting role. The palate is juicy, saturated and quite long for a wine of this level.
A reliable château in good vintages, this is a buy!

Good drinking Bordeaux with soft tannins and ripe dark fruit. Still has a good personality after 7 years

Medium deep ruby . Ripe grafite tinged cassis , red currant and blackberry fruits , with a touch of dried spices , earth and cedar . Quite juicy dark fruits on the palate , with good balance and refreshing acidity. Quite balanced fine savoury tannin on the finish with good length . Drinking well now and will continue to do so over the next 10 years or so .

This is very composed, ready to serve kinda Bordeaux. Bold and slightly tannic, fruit forward with good acidity. 2016 was a great vintage, tons of value here. Could easily get a case for everyday drinking.

Very light for a red. A bit tart, but overall well-balanced.
