This Chateau is owned by the Mahler-Besse family, owners of Chateau Palmer in Margaux and many other first class wine making properties in Bordeaux and around the world.

The wine shows distinct Bordeaux character of black currant and cedar spice.

Comments about Chateau La Couronne 2009 St. Emilion, Grand Cru:

If you've been drinking a lot of new world wine lately, this elegant '09 Bordeaux will remind you why variety is the spice of life. It is superbly velvety with rich red raspberry and hints of lead pencil with a nice leanness that makes it the perfect match for food. You can't do much better, especially at the price!

Comments about Chateau La Couronne 2009 St. Emilion, Grand Cru:

We first had this wine in Paris. We absolutely loved it. It is very smooth and a fine wine. It is comparable to a $150 bottle of fine wine like Opus One. Please try and enjoy!

Comments about Chateau La Couronne 2009 St. Emilion, Grand Cru:

This is really a top quality Grand Cru wine from a fantastic vintage in St. Emilion. Lots of black currant and berry on the nose with distinctive herbal notes and a chalky, mineral quality. On the palate it's round and smooth with a lot of St. Emilion terroir present, leading to an elegant finish. Drinking now but will certainly benefit from a bit of cellaring.

Opened this the other night with friends over. A lovely accompaniment to Cowgirl Creamery's Mt. Tam cheese and uncured ham.
Nicely developed for a young wine. Very drinkable!
