Over het wijnhuis | Château Cantemerle is een van de oudste wijnhuizen van de Médoc met een geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 14e eeuw. Het is gevestigd in Macau, een dorpje in het zuiden van de Haut-Médoc op een kwartier rijden van Margaux. Château Cantemerle is een 5e Grand Cru Classé, maar stond niet op de oorspronkelijke lijst. Het château werd toegevoegd terwijl de Parijse beurs - waar de classificatie werd gepresenteerd - nog aan de gang was. |

Awards | "The 2022 Cantemerle offers up attractive aromas of minty blackberries, blueberries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and ample palate that's layered and textural, with a rich core of fruit largely concealing plenty of youthfully firm structuring tannin. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this is a strong effort for this estate, situated on fine gravel soils in the southern Médoc." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Perfumed, with aromas of smoke, currants, grilled citrus, dried flowers and roasted herbs. Juicy and firm on the palate, with a medium to full body and a fruit-forward finish that shows herbal freshness at the end. Already approachable, but should get better in two more years." - James Suckling "70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Pale rim. Sweet start. Very gentle – much less obviously tannic than its peers. Smooth and pleasing but not as serious as most 2022s. For relatively early drinking. (JR)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Cantemerle presents a relatively light but defined nose with notes of blackberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of undergrowth emerging with aeration. The medium-bodied palate features chewy tannins on the entry and a bit of rusticity, yet it offers a pleasant, lightly spiced finish. Could it have given me a little more? Maybe." - Vinous "Warmed plum sauce and blackberry compote notes move slowly, while roasted cedar, tobacco and tar fill in. The toasty finish shows polish and focus. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2034." - Wine Spectator "Delicately fragrant, with purple flowers, berry fruit and touches of exotic spices. Sleek and svelte on the palate, this has a calm confidence about it, the flavours driving in one line from start to finish. I love the chalky texture and the purity of fruit. Gentle, not pushed too hard, with plenty of easy enjoyment to be had. Fresh, cool and moreish. Really overdelivers for its price." - Decanter |
