Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 1855 5ème Cru 2017

Black tea, cassis, rosebud, chalk, mineral, gentle citrus fruit, sweet oak impact on the finish, good quality. Both Cabernet Franc and Merlot were impacted by frost – which at the time was the first real frost since 1991 at Cantemerle, making final yields 40hl/h. 40% new oak for ageing, Eric Boissenot consultant, Philippe Dambrine estate director.
