Description

Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 2010

A classic, signature Grand Cru from Bordeaux. Always nice to enjoy.

Grape Varietals & Region: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc blend from Haut Medoc, Bordeaux. It is located in the southern part of the Haut-Médoc, close to the border with Margaux, which is probably one of the reasons for the rather charming Médoc style of this Château

Cantemerle was not only the worst hit of all the Medoc classified growths during the phylloxera crisis, but the vines were subsequently attacked by downy mildew between 1879 and 1887

Taste Profile: Floral in character, with loads of fresh black raspberries, dark cherries, espresso bean and earth on the nose. Medium bodied, elegant, clean and fresh, the wine ends with sweet, ripe, dark red fruits.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
