Cantemerle 2007 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Fifth Growth Château Cantemerle in the Haut-Médoc. Located in the far south of Bordeaux, Château Cantemerle tends to produce relatively restrained, elegant wines with Cabernet Sauvignon the dominant grape, complemented by Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 2010 Grand Vin, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, is available here in half-bottle format. "The 2010 Cantemerle is vigorous and open on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit with cedar and humidor scents. I admire the focus and detail. The palate is rounded in texture on the entry. This is a plumper, richer, more fruit-driven 2010 with a lush finish on the context of the growing season. You could broach this now, although I would prefer to leave it another three or four years. This is another excellent wine and candidate for most over-performing cru this vintage." Vinous, 2020
