2016 Chateau Carrone Ste Gemme

2016 Chateau Carrone Ste Gemme Barrel Sample. Already a perfumed wine, this is generous and likely to be rich while also balanced. Blackberry fruit and fine acidity balance the structure. There is good aging potential here.

‘Everything came together this year,’ according to winemaker Olivier Sèze. This was the last wine to be harvested in the Médoc and is a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 7% petit verdot. Plenty of energy here with a rich core of ripe fruit. One of the best Caronnes we have tasted.
