Les Allées de Cantemerle, Château Cantemerle, Bordeaux, France

Duncan Says: An absolute gem of a find. A very well made Bordeaux 

Tasting Notes: A classy and approachable Bordeaux with aromas of blackcurrant combined with bell pepper, all complemented by cedar oak and a touch of tobacco.

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon 82%, Cabernet Franc 10%, Merlot 8%

Best Enjoyed: A classic match for roast beef.

Good to Know: Château Cantemerle is a Fifth Classed Growth (Cinquième Cru) which is proud of its heritage and justifies its place in the 1855 classification. Les Allées de Cantemerle has the same great personality as the Grand Vin, but is ready to drink earlier.
