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 – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

Smooth and sleek, this is balanced and subtly charming, although there’s a blue-fruit coolness and fresh mint element. Certainly doesn’t have much weight to it, more refined and straight than powerful, but it’s in keeping with the vintage and isn’t trying too hard. Tannin texture is nice, chalky and powdery giving texture and length.

A beautiful, classic Haut-Médoc, the 2023 Château Cantemerle offers lots of currants, fresh black cherries, leather, and graphite, with more subtle floral nuances with air. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has fine-grained tannins, a solid sense of freshness, and outstanding length. It's undeniably delicious today yet will have two decades of prime drinking. Drink 2026-2046.

An understated style, with perfumed sandalwood and cedar notes that curl gracefully around a core of gently mulled red and black currant fruit. The fine-grained finish lets a warm earth detail filter through prettily. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
