Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé AOC

Located in the southern part of the Bordeaux Medoc peninsula, Château Cantemerle, designated a great growth in the famous 1855 classification, thanks to its unique terroir, produces complex well-balanced and refined wines.

This stunning vintage has been somewhat overshadowed by the quality of the two preceding years, but is now being discovered for its flattering character. With its beautiful deep color and discreet spicy aromas, this wine shows a stunning youth, firmness and complexity.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13%

APPEARANCE
Deep dark, limpid red colour.

NOSE
Swirling this wine in the glass brings forth a very complex bouquet.
All the usual aromas of tobacco, black currant, cloves and a woodiness typical of ripe Cabernet are present, the hallmarks of a great wine.

PALATE
In the mouth, the first impression is both powerful and elegant, with rich flavors covering the palate. The tannins are very supple, lingering elegantly on the finish.

AGEING
Ageing for 12 months in medium toasted French-oak barrels, of which 40% new.

PAIRING
A perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta as well as cheese.
