Owner's words
Château Cantemerle 2024, from a vintage marked by contrasting and demanding climatic conditions, already charms with its elegance. Right from the juicy attack, it reveals great freshness, and a precise, harmonious palate. Subtly balanced, its fresh, tangy fruit flavours stretch out with finesse. The silky, soft tannins enhance the flavourful character of the wine. The long finish leaves an impression of refinement. Elegant and soft, the 2024 is fully in keeping with the Château Cantemerle DNA.
