Merchant's description

Château Cantemerle 2002 is a mature Left Bank Bordeaux red composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This vintage presents flavours of black cherry, plum and a hint of tobacco, with fine-grained tannins that provide structure to the wine. Located in the Haut-Médoc region, Château Cantemerle is classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The vineyard`s clay-limestone soils contribute to the wine’s finesse and supple structure. With a fine balance of acidity and fruit, this vintage offers drinking pleasure now while also showing potential for further development in the bottle.
