Caronne's great soil has unlimited potential...

Described by Tom Stevenson as "a superb island of vines on a gravel plateau south of St Julien estates" Château Caronne Ste Gemme takes pride in its deep gravel mounds of the günzien period which lie on a subsoil of iron rich sandstone to the east and clay to the west.

The capacity of such a soil within the temperate and oceanic climate of the haut-médoc region enables the hopes of continually improving the quality of its wines.

Recent investments should also contribute including; the building of a new wine making unit, the refurbishment of the barrel cellars and the creation of a temperature controlled storage cellar.
