2020 was the last vintage produced under Groupama ownership, as the estate was sold in April 2021 to Gerald Jicquel (the Beautiful Life Group , that also owns Fourcas-Dupré). While it is an attractive, smooth Haut-Médoc, it lacks a bit of concentration, especially if compared to some of its peers in this great vintage ( like the Barreyres 2020 I've tasted yesterday). But a nice drink in any case. Abv. 13%. — 6 months ago

2016 vintage. Seductive and well-balanced. Good value for Pomerol standards. This property was bought in 2005 by the Castéja family (Borie-Manoux négociant, owner es of Batailley , Lynch-Moussas, Trottevieille etc) — 7 years ago

vintage 1957 | For me, thé surprise in a line up of old vintages. A smell I would like to explore for a whole evening. | Because it was unknown to me, I did some research, the family Borie bought the domaine in 1932. After the dead of Marcel Borie in 1961 the chateau stopped as such and parcels were added to Château Haut Batailley. la Couronne as name has been used as a brand afterwards. — 3 months ago

Just needed time, both in storage and decant. Better on the 2nd day
Some historical stuff I found online,

The Chateau Caronne Ste. Gemme property has been making wine since the French Revolution and has existed since the mid 1600's. Now in the hands of the Nony family, who is related to the Borie family of multi-chateau fame, the estate is in excellent hands.
The vines average about thirty years of age and are located in the southwest corner of Saint Julien. The grapes are fermented in cement vats where they also undergo malolactic fermentation. From there they're aged in one third new French oak for one year before bottling. — 4 years ago

Very nice, floral and peachy with a kiss of vanilla on the finish. Enough acidity to render it refreshing on a hot cévenol evening. — 6 years ago
