    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Cantemerle was the clear star of the Medoc, Listrac and Moulis UGC. Its position just to the south of the Margaux appellation enjoyed the best of conditions in 2015. There is a distinctly Cabernet style, with brooding aromas of cassis, crème de mûre and gravelly earthy notes. This is intense and black fruited with plenty of nuance and a quite serious fruit set. The tannins are very correct with lasting flavours of mineral infused cassis and clove. An excellent wine with plenty of potential.

    The 2015 Cantemerle is medium to deep garnet colored. It features notes of cranberry sauce and kirsch leading to hints of wild sage and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and refreshing, with red berry layers and herbal sparks, finishing with a spritely lift.

    The 2015 Cantemerle offers an attractive blackberry, raspberry and blueberry nose, forward and more fruit-driven than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity and gentle grip, but comes across a little pushed toward the judiciously spiced finish. Give it another couple of years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
