Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Medoc 5. Cru Classé 2018 i trækasse

"94-95 points. A rich and layered young Bordeaux..." - James Suckling "94 points. Blackcurrant fruitiness is balanced by a dry, smoky core" - Wine Enthusiast "94 points. Really well managed wine with impressive balance" - Andrew Caillard MW

Château Cantemerle ligger omgivet af en naturskøn park i den sydlige del af Médoc, nær landsbyerne Macau og Ludon, og er en af de ældste ejendomme i Bordeaux. Slottets beplantninger dækker 92 ha, hvor Cabernet Sauvignon udgør størstedelen. Gennem tiden har slottet tilhørt familierne Villeneuve og Dubos, men er nu blevet overtaget af det store forsikringsselskab SMABTP. Det varierede landskab og et unikt ’terroir’ er med til at skabe vine, der både er komplekse og elegante.

Vinene fra Château Cantemerle lever til fulde op til deres status som 5. Cru Classé, som de har beholdt siden 1855. Efter salget til SMABTP var der behov for renoveringer og nye beplantninger, og Château Cantemerle står nu skarpere end nogensinde før. Resultatet er vine, der scorer helt op til 96 point hos James Suckling.

Anmeldelser af Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 5. Cru Classé 2018

94-95/100 James Suckling "A rich and layered young Bordeaux with a solid center palate of ripe fruit and coated with ripe and polished tannins. Tightly wound ball now. Pretty texture and length to this."

94/100 Wine Enthusiast "A well-constructed wine that is ripe with black fruits and integrated tannins, this is in a good place for aging. Blackcurrant fruitiness is balanced by a dry, smoky core that holds promise. Drink this wine from 2026."

94/100 Andrew Caillard MW "Really well managed wine with impressive balance and integrity"

93/100 Vert de Vin Magazine "The nose is racy, fruity and offers a fine power and structure. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of red fruits associated with touches of grilled bread, coffee as well as discreet hints of tonka bean. The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced, slightly tight, well-built and offers a small freshness and a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/crunchy small wild red fruits associated with fine touches of violet, chocolate, grilled bread as well as discreet hints of coffee and toasted. Tannins are well-built and very slightly firm."

92/100 Decanter "There's an enjoyable texture and plush fruit in this elegant, well balanced wine. It has precise aromatics of black pepper, liquorice and freshly cut herbs. It's good but a touch more restrained than most of its peers. 33hl/ha. Aged in 40% new oak. 6% Petit Verdot makes up the blend. Drinking Window 2023 - 2038"
