The vineyard of Caronne Ste Gemme is made up of 45 hectares planted on a mound of gravel with a base of iron rich sandstone. Plantings consist of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot and the average vine age is 25 years. A bright nose of red fruit with a perfumed edge follows onto the palate with added nuances of smoke, black pepper and subtle oak. A well rounded finish craves to be drunk now as an excellent accompaniment to roasts.
