Delicately fragrant, with purple flowers, berry fruit and touches of exotic spices. Sleek and svelte on the palate, this has a calm confidence about it, the flavours driving in one line from start to finish. I love the chalky texture and the purity of fruit. Gentle, not pushed too hard, with plenty of easy enjoyment to be had. Fresh, cool and moreish. Really overdelivers for its price.

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Perfumed, with aromas of smoke, currants, grilled citrus, dried flowers and roasted herbs. Juicy and firm on the palate, with a medium to full body and a fruit-forward finish that shows herbal freshness at the end. Already approachable, but should get better in two more years.

The 2022 from Laure Canu and team at Cantemerle is a confident blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20% Merlot and 5% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This suggests great harmony on the nose, with a delicately leathery edge to the fruit, which is all desiccated red cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and smoke. It feels aromatically coherent, and the palate only reinforces this first impression, with a charming integration of dark fruit, powdery tannins, ripe phenolic substance and fresh acidity. Lovely structure and substance here, in a finely composed Cantemerle, with plenty of powdery, ripe and gently spicy tannins in the finish and length. A top result. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%.

The 2022 Cantemerle offers up attractive aromas of minty blackberries, blueberries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and ample palate that's layered and textural, with a rich core of fruit largely concealing plenty of youthfully firm structuring tannin. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this is a strong effort for this estate, situated on fine gravel soils in the southern Médoc.

Warmed plum sauce and blackberry compote notes move slowly, while roasted cedar, tobacco and tar fill in. The toasty finish shows polish and focus. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2034. 16,666 cases made.

I always love the wine from this château and the 2022 Château Cantemerle is no exception, offering textbook Bordeaux notes of darker currants, leafy tobacco, cedarwood, and loamy earth. These carry to a medium-bodied, balanced, incredibly charming wine that has fine tannins, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's going to round into form with 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 10-15 years thereafter. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The 2022 Cantemerle has a glossy, generous bouquet, a mixture of blackberry and blueberry fruit, with touches of violet that lend it a Margaux-like allure. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet core of fruit, quite plush and softish, blueberry and cassis fruit with a little smudge on the finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
