Tasting notes
A beautifully deep ruby-red Bordeaux with an expressive bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry. The nose is complex and inviting, revealing layers of plum, cedar, tobacco and subtle hints of vanilla, toasted oak and warming spice. The palate is generous yet elegantly structured, with concentrated dark fruit flavours balanced by fresh acidity, savoury complexity and finely integrated tannins. Notes of cassis, black cherry and gentle spice develop across the palate, while the Cabernet Sauvignon brings definition and structure and the Merlot adds a rounded, supple character. Refined and harmonious, it finishes long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, delicate oak and classic Médoc elegance.
Style: Dry, medium to full-bodied, structured and elegant
Aromas: Blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco and subtle spice
Palate: Cassis, ripe dark fruits, plum, savoury notes, gentle oak and finely balanced tannins
Finish: Long, smooth and persistent, with elegant structure and lingering dark fruit
Food pairing: Perfect alongside roast beef, grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb, venison, duck breast and slow-cooked beef dishes. Also excellent with mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, roasted root vegetables and mature cheeses.

More Information
A distinguished expression of the Haut-Médoc, Château Caronne Ste-Gemme is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux with an appealing combination of ripe fruit, elegant structure and traditional Médoc character. Owned by the Nony-Borie family since 1900, the estate has built a reputation for producing beautifully balanced wines that offer both depth and finesse.
Situated in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, close to the prestigious vineyards of Saint-Julien, the château benefits from an exceptional gravel-rich terroir. Deep gravel soils, with an iron-rich sandstone subsoil and areas of clay, provide excellent conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These classic Bordeaux varieties combine to create a wine with expressive fruit, refined tannins and the structure for which the Médoc is renowned. In the glass, expect an attractive deep ruby colour, with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, complemented by nuances of cedar, tobacco, subtle spice and gently toasted oak. The palate is traditionally Bordeaux in style: concentrated yet elegant, with layers of dark fruit supported by fresh acidity and finely integrated tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and definition, while Merlot brings softness and generous fruit. Presented in a 1.5L Magnum, this is an excellent choice for dinner parties, special occasions and celebratory gatherings. The larger format is particularly attractive for sharing and is traditionally associated with slower, more gradual wine development. A fine example of classic Haut-Médoc character, Château Caronne Ste-Gemme combines heritage, terroir and timeless Bordeaux elegance.RELATED PRODUCTS
