Chateau Cantemerle 2016

Château Cantemerle has a winemaking history stretching back some six and a half centuries. It is classified as a Fifth Growth in the legendary 1855 classification of Bordeaux. Cantemerle regularly offers superb value reds that reflect the character of the Haut-Médoc vineyards. The 2016 harvest was a high-quality harvest and the best wines show a fine balance of rich fruit, refreshing acidity and supple tannins. The 2016 Cantemerle shows a classic claret style with blackcurrant and blackberry fruit aromas enhanced by elements of cedar, herbs and toasty oak. The flavors are elegant and supple, with the black fruits interwoven with the herb, smoke and spice tones. The 2016 Cantemerle is a finely balanced red Bordeaux that will provide delicious drinking for the next decade
