Clos Cantenac 2018 is a Bordeaux blend primarily comprising Merlot, sourced from the estate’s older vineyards situated on the clay-limestone terroirs of Saint-Émilion. Harvested in late September, the grapes were picked in ideal early morning conditions, allowing for optimal ripeness. The wine displays a dense dark purple hue. Its aromatic profile includes notes of black cherry, plum and subtle hints of spice. On the palate, there is a defined fruit richness with tones of dark chocolate and a firm structure. The estate, Clos Cantenac, has been family-owned for generations, emphasising traditional methods in winemaking.
