Ingen over og ingen ved siden af... Château Cantemerle er nummer ét i verden på Wine-Seachers popularitetsliste for Haut-Médoc foran toprivaler som Sociando-Mallet, La Lagune, Belgrave og Camensac… Det her er om nogen venstrebredsvinen, bordeauxfans stabler kassevis af i deres vinkældre!

Med hjælp fra eliteønologen Eric Boissenot, der også laver vin for Mouton-Rothschild, Latour, Lafite-Rothschild, Château Margaux og Léoville Las Cases, leverer Château Cantemerle da også en af 2021-årgangens absolutte højdespringere, når vi taler value-for-money!  

Chateau Cantemerle ligger omgivet af en naturskøn park i den sydlige del af Haut-Médoc, nær Margaux, og er en af de ældste ejendomme i Bordeaux. Slottets beplantninger dækker 92 ha, hvor Cabernet Sauvignon udgør størstedelen.

Gennem tiden har slottet tilhørt flere forskellige familier, men siden seneste ejerskifte i 1981 har store investeringer fra mark til vineri og fadkælder løftet kvaliteten til nye højder, så Cantemerle nu mere end lever op til klassificeringen som 5. Grand Cru Classé.

Kælderpotentialet hos denne Grand Vin er betydeligt i 2021-årgangen, der dog præsenterer sig helt uimodståelig juicy i glasset allerede nu... Glæd dig!  

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse.

Anmeldelser af Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 5. Grand Cru Classé 2021

94/100 Wine Enthusiast
“This wine comes from one of the first of the grand estates when driving north up the Médoc. The wine brings out the brightness of the vintage as well as its structure and potential for aging. This is balanced, fruit and tannins allied with succulent acidity.”

92/100 James Suckling
“Attractive herb and capsicum notes lend freshness to the red currants and plums. Medium body on the palate with a very fluid center palate. Crunchy, elegant and juicy finish with good length. Has plenty of appeal now.”

92/100 Markus Del Monego, Master of Wine
“Deep purple colour with violet hue and black core. Elegant and initially slightly closed nose, opening up well displaying an aroma reminiscent of ripe plums, blackcurrant jelly and chocolate coated prunes. On the palate well structured with medium body yet good length, juicy fruit and aromatic herbs lingering on the finish.”

“Joyful and modern in its aroma profile, it shows notes of strawberries, red plums, cedar pieces, pink grapefruit and guarana. Medium body, soft tannins and a finish that shows a gentle, harmonious relaxation.”

“In the style that defines its success, this Cantemerle 2021 is delicious, showcasing notes of red fruits, great delicacy, and impressive persistence. This consistently affordable vintage is a great opportunity not to be missed.”

91-92/100 Bettane & Desseauve

91-92/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
“The nose is fresh, racy and shows a fine delicate power. There are notes of blueberry, lily and, to a lesser extent, pulpy strawberry, combined with fine touches of blueberry, bright redcurrant and a subtle hint of pepper (in the background). The palate is mineral, balanced and reveals a juicy/mineral structure, good definition, a certain delicacy, roundness, a beautiful minerality, freshness and a fine tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh cherry, raspberry and slightly fresh blackcurrant combined with a touch of crisp purple plum as well as fine hints of fresh flowers, cardamom, a subtle touch of nutmeg and vanilla (in the background). The tannins are precise and mellow.”

91/100 Decanter
“Allspice, cedar, juniper and blackcurrants - a heady, appealing perfume. Lightly framed with gentle but mouthwatering and succulent red berry fruits mingling with firm tannins that coat the mouth in a fine layer of chalky, fruity saltiness. Attractive balance, if a little light on the mid-palate at this point, but this has a long finish and a motion of flavour from beginning to end. It feels well worked with concentration and direction. Structured and confident.”

91/100 Antonio Galloni
“The 2021 Cantemerle is floral, lifted and very pretty. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, spice, mocha and licorice take shape in a wine that impresses with its delineated, persistent personality. All the elements are nicely balanced. There is a bit of tightness on the finish, but overall, this is nicely done.”

91/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Light, bright, crisp, classic, and racy, this medium-bodied, edgy, firm, red cherry, and raspberry wine is packed with herbs, flowers, peppery spices, cedar. and tobacco. This is a firm, crunchy, old-school wine that blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot.”

90-92+/100 The Drinks Business
“Limpid, glossy and impressively viscous in the glass for the vintage. A very pure and beautiful nose – you might guess La Lagune more than Cantemerle – that is exquisitely perfumed, with cassis, bramble and raspberry, cedar and freshly picked wild herbs. Svelte and very measured on the attack, this is long and finely structured with a nice sense of grip from the chewy fine-grained tannins. There’s a good balance and harmony to this and the acidity is seamlessly integrated. One imagines that the selection was quite strict. The progress here is palpable (and likely to be continued)...”
