2007 Château Cantemerle Grand Cru Classé

VIVINO rating of 4.0 based on over 36,000 reviews.

Château Cantemerle‘s wine is full of charm, developing flavours of black cherry and blackberry. Its tannins are silky on the palate and linger well. Pleasant and elegant from the outset, the wine has a good aging potential. It expresses the fullness of its aromas and all its power and complexity after at least a decade. To the delight of wine enthusiasts, the wines eventually become more supple and velvety. This high-quality cru classé is excellent value for money.

A 1855 Cru Classé, Château Cantermerle’s vineyard consists of plots of fine gravel soil beside the Gironde estuary. The beautiful château has a magnificent park and a particularly well-cared for vineyard. The grapes are harvested and meticulously sorted by hand; each plot is then vinified separately in oak vats. The selection process at the blending stage determines what proportions of which vats go into the first and second wines, with rigorous respect for the maintenance of cru classé quality.
