The nose is incredibly aromatic and expressive, driven by the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with notes of graphite and cedar. The palate is juicy and concentrated with a purity of fruit that is balanced with a striking minerality and freshness. The tannins are smooth and silky. This is a well-balanced and elegant Cantemerle, with a long, elegant and fresh finish. This will be aged in 35% new oak. A very classic claret at a great price.

Harvest began on 24th September with the Merlot and finished on 7th October with the Cabernet parcels. Yields reached 43 hl/ha, nearly double that of some their neighbours, thanks to the meticulous work carried out in the vineyard throughout the season.
