Chateau Cantemerle 2016 consists of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.
At the tasting, the Chateau Cantemerle 2016 develops attractive aromas with subtle notes of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, with tannins of great suppleness and deep fruity flavours combined with tasty touches of blackberries, cedar and graphite. The wine is precise with good tension.
Chateau Cantemerle is a 5th Classified Growth of 1855 produced in the Haut-Medoc appellation. The vineyard of 91 hectares benefits from vines aged 30 years on average planted in silico-gravelly soil. The wine is aged for 16 months - 12 months in barrel (40% new, 40% of one previous wine and 20% of two previous wines) and 4 months in vats after the final blending.
