TwoMoreGlasses.com® Chateau Cantemerle 2017 (1x75cl) – 7856158474438

It would be difficult to find a more classically Médoc wine than thisgreat Cantemerle, with its sustained power and refined elegance. A very deep color and subtle aromas underscore its youth. Once in the mouth, this rich and full-bodied wine releases notes of coffee, olives and licorice which are emphasized by an opulent and harmonious length. A fine wine which marries fullness and delicacy, while avoiding heaviness and excessive oak. It’s the perfect expression of a balanced Bordeaux which gives voice to a great terroir.

This wine has a promising future, and already offers great satisfaction with all meat and poultry, as well as alpine cheeses.

Critical Acclaim

JS95James Suckling

Impressive richness and clarity of red and dark berries. Lightly spiced-pastry aromas, too. The palate has a very crisp, polished and groomed tannin texture, as well as super fresh flavors that carry long. Great wine. Try from 2022.

WE94Wine Enthusiast

With structured tannins and red berry notes, this is already showing an elegant structure. It is the fruit that sings here, gently supported by the fine, dusty tannins. Barrel Sample: 92-94

JD91Jeb Dunnuck

Based on 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the inky colored 2015 Château Cantemerle offers a terrific bouquet of black currants, smoked herbs, earth, and hints of charcoal. Ripe, concentrated, rounded, and undeniably delicious, with ripe tannin, it’s a terrific vintage for Cantemerle to drink anytime over the coming 10′-15 years.

WS90Wine Spectator

Fresh, featuring ripe plum and cassis notes gilded with a floral hint and backed by subtle cedar, tobacco and iron notes. Textbook typicity. A rock-solid value. Best from 2019 through 2027.

D90Decanter

Fine expression of fruit with elegance and class, This is never a big wine but it has fine natural depth and harmony.
