critic reviews
The 2021 Cantemerle has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It flies out of the glass with notes of juicy raspberries and Morello cherries, leading to wafts of cinnamon and roses. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and refreshing, with minerally sparks to the red berry flavors and a soft-textured finish.

The 2021 Cantemerle typifies your "classic" Bordeaux. It has a light but delineated nose of black fruit laced with cedar and freshly rolled tobacco. The palate is balanced with a little chewiness on the entry. There’s some mid-palate weight in the, but then it dramatically tapers away and leaves you wondering if it could have given more. There's also a slightly herbaceous aftertaste.
The 2021 Cantemerle opens in the glass with notes of cassis, dark berries, mint and baking chocolate. This is medium-bodied, with supple, powdery tannins, lively acids and a delicate core of fruit, concluding with a minty, somewhat herbaceous finish.
