Lively and well-balanced, this Haut-Médoc wine offers alluringly smooth and mellow tannins along with a dense expression and a very elegant finish. The 2021 Cantemerle opens in the glass with notes of cassis, dark berries, mint and baking chocolate. This is medium-bodied, with supple, powdery tannins, lively acids and a delicate core of fruit, concluding with a minty, somewhat herbaceous finish

With origins that hark back to 1147, Château Cantemerle is one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc. Managed by the Cordier family, Château Cantemerle will seduce wine lovers with the style of its wines. Exuding harmony and elegance, the wine's expression is due to an utterly subtle aromatic palette and a very fine tannic structure.

Château Cantemerle 2021 is an Haut-Médoc wine that stems from a 96-hectare vineyard. The vines are 40 years old on average and are planted on a terroir composed of gravel and silica from the Quaternary period. Although the frosts on April 7th and 8th had a major impact on the vineyard, the teams' rigour and the estate's sandy-gravel soils led to the harvesting of healthy grapes that boasted a perfect ripeness level and thus revealed a beautiful freshness and bright fruit expression.

The blend, Cabernet Sauvignon (65%),Merlot (21%), Cabernet Franc (9%), Petit Verdot (5%).
Hand-picked and sorted on the vine. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (40% new, 40% second-fill and 20% third-fill).
