Omschrijving
In een boomrijkpark, in verschillende stijlen gebouwd château dat zijn naam ontleend zou hebben aan het 'zingen' van de Merle, een groot kanon dat de Fransen hier tijdens de 100 jarige oorlog afvuurden op de Engelsen. Deze 5e Cru Classé bezit een elegante smaak die opvalt vanwege de zachtheid met fris fruit, kruidigheid en een heerlijk elegante finale.

Robert Parker Opening in the glass with notions of rich berry fruit, licorice, cedar, violets and loamy soil, the 2019 Cantemerle is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish. This shut down a little after bottling (some 11 months ago at the time of writing), but it is beginning to bounce back to reveal a wine of real charm and character.

Vinous The 2019 Cantemerle has a fruit-driven bouquet with opulent blackberry and blueberry fruit, certainly one of the most floral in the flight with pressed violets developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, fleshy and rounded, though I am looking for more tension and precision on the finish. This is a really fabulous Cantemerle that surely represents outstanding value. No excuse not to have this in your cellar. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

James Suckling A red with lots of currant, blackberry, fresh-herb and tobacco character. Hint of mushroom, too. It's full and layered with polished, chewy tannins and a bright and fresh finish. Very long and focused. Give it time to come together. Very classic character here. Best after 2026.
