Merchant's description
Cantemerle 2008 is a mature Left Bank Bordeaux from the Haut-Médoc region. This vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The 2008 growing season provided optimal conditions, contributing to a structured wine with defined acidity and mild tannins. The wine is approachable now but may benefit from further ageing up to 2030.
