Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cantemerle is sporting a lot of oak, herbs and tilled soil over a cassis and baked plums core plus pencil lead and chargrill touches. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with nice freshness and good length.
Drink Date 2020 - 2030

Source: Winemaker,

With a delicate, very elegant bouquet and a soft first impression in the mouth, this wine offers a smooth and simple sensation. Still young with a lively finish that brings out its aromas, this is a true second wine to be enjoyed as such, where a little taste of raspberry on the finish is a typical sign of a classic M?doc wine.

Vineyard, Culture And Harvest
This second wine comes mainly from the chateau's young vines and is made like its elder brother. Les Allees de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential. As it ages more quickly, Les Allees de Cantemerle is generally ready to be consumed within several years of the vintage.
