2016 CANTEMERLE / 佳得美酒莊

Something about Chateau Cantemerle

To find the origins of Chateau Cantemerle we must go back to the Middle-Ages, in 1147, and the Lords of Cantemerle. The management of the vineyard, sometimes entrusted to La Maison Cordier, allowed for the renovation of the vineyards. In the appellation of Haut-Médoc situated on fine and deep gravel, the vineyard covers an area of 90 hectares. The wine of Chateau Cantemerle plays on a register of charm and harmony. It seems that the word elegance best defines Cantemerle because of its soft tannins and subtle palette of aromas.

FROM THE
EXPERTS

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cantemerle offers up warm plums, black cherries and mulberries with an earth and bay leaves undercurrent. The palate is medium-bodied with just enough fruit and pleasantly chewy tannins, finishing with an herbal lift. 2019 - 2028

The 2016 Cantemerle has a comparatively opulent bouquet of black cherries, boysenberry and light violet scents, touches of cedar and sous-bois emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. There is a touch of greenness here, although it does come across harmonious and there is a pleasing spiciness toward the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting. 2022 - 2045

Plenty of menthol, blackberry and blackcurrant aromas in this elegant, medium-weight Haut-Médoc that’s got as much freshness as ripeness and a long, clean, mineral and herbal finish. An incredibly food-flexible wine! Drink or hold.
