Chateau Cantemerle 2005 opens with pure blackcurrant and blueberry fruit edged by gentle floral notes and discreet sweet spice. The palate is medium to full in weight, with very fine, velvety tannins and a long, polished finish that shows both elegance and depth, still gaining complexity in the bottle.

Château Cantemerle is the grand vin of this historic 1855 Fifth Growth estate in the Haut-Médoc, crafted mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown on deep, fine gravel soils around Macau and Ludon. Typically medium to full-bodied yet refined, it is known for its dark berry, floral and subtly spicy aromatics, supple but structured tannins, and an elegant, ageworthy style that reflects its classic Left Bank terroir.
