Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Medoc 2020

The 2020 Chateau Cantemerle is a deep garnet-purple Haut-Medoc red wine that exemplifies the estate's reputation for elegance and balance. A classic Bordeaux blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot, it offers an expressive aromatic profile of cassis, black raspberries, tobacco, and wild sage with subtle cocoa and pencil shaving notes. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and fleshy, featuring ripe, powdery tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads to a refined, savory finish marked by hints of mint and mocha. Aged for 12 months in French oak, this Fifth Growth selection provides exceptional value and is expected to age gracefully through 2050, making it an ideal pairing for lamb, poultry, or grilled meats.
