Chateau Cantemerle 2012 Haut Medoc

A truly ancient property with a history going back to the middle ages, Chateau Cantemerle hides behind a thick woodland just to your left as you drive along the route des chateaux as you leave Bordeaux. Despite a challenges of the 2012 vintage Cantemerle produced a triumph, a wine with refined character of elegant dark cherries, light but firm tannins and an earthy tinge on the finish. Perfect for a slow braised meat dish on a slow lazy Sunday afternoon.
