Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 1855 5ème Cru 2020

Cocoa bean, espresso, crayon, hedgerow, violets and ripe brambled fruits. Captures the understated finesse and joy of Cantemerle, one to share, with expansion and depths through the mid palate that become ever clearer with the more recent vintages, showcasing how Cantemerle is growing in confidence. Last vintage with Pascal Berteau as technical director, in place since 1987, and Philippe Dambrine in his last vintage as estate director, 40% new oak for ageing.
