Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 26 Mar 25
So much pleasure on display here, with enveloping ripe berry fruit, cumin and sage spices, chalky tannins giving focus and lift, soft through the mid palate but everything melts into the wider architecture of the wine, and this is thoroughly easy to fall in love with. 40% new oak for ageing, Eric Boissenot consultant, Philippe Dambrine estate director.

Vinous Neal Martin - 03 Jun 25
The 2015 Cantemerle has a well-defined bouquet with red cherry, crushed strawberry and just a touch of eucalyptus, though all are nicely packaged and focused. This has moderate vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, fleshy tannins. This bears traces of sur-maturité, it's a bit prune-like and raisiny toward the finish. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 17 Nov 22
The 2015 Cantemerle is medium to deep garnet colored. It features notes of cranberry sauce and kirsch leading to hints of wild sage and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and refreshing, with red berry layers and herbal sparks, finishing with a spritely lift.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
