Dark cherries and berries

Mid-weight and rounded in the middle with good length

rancio transformation (though controlled exposure to oxygen) which brings a kind of nutty

clean and fresh with some nice warming mid-palate weight

Chateau Cantemerle, Cru Bourgeois Haut Medoc 2016 hautes-cotes-de-beaune Dark cherries and berriesSwirling this wine in the glass brings forth a very complex bouquet, the hallmark of a great wine. In the mouth, the first impression is both powerful and elegant, with rich flavours covering the palate. All the usual aromas of this wine tobacco, black currant, cloves and a woodiness typical of ripe Cabernet are present in a subtle register which will become more prominent with time. The tannins are very supple, lingering elegantly on the finish.
