This wine was created in 1988 and was one of the first Bordeaux white wines to be produced à la Burgundy: aged on the fine lees in 225-litre barrels, and regularly stirred. It is so refreshing, so refined, with delicate aromas of white peach, acacia flower, and honeysuckle. Unctuous yet light, a little mineral in its youth, it becomes even more generous, reminiscent of brioche, as the years pass.
Chateau de Chantegrive Description
Our Cuvée Caroline contains 5% Sauvignon Gris in its blend, resulting in the addition of delicious tropical fruit aromas of pineapple and lychee. Its exhuberance and its contribution of fruit make it a precious component of our gourmet wine.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This fine ripe, wood-aged wine is full of white fruits, rich apples and spice. Its toasty edge mingles with the wrought minerality and density.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Marzipan and some oak spices to the lime and green stone fruit. Good substance on the mid-palate with a hint of vanilla and a subtle grip at the end. Sauvignon blanc and semillon.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2022 Cuvee Caroline is a textured, creamy white. Orchard fruit, white pepper, flowers, and a kiss of new French oak all grace this soft, open-knit dry white.
