The wine shows a deep dense velvety black in colour with a vibrant and appealing structure and a nose of rich, ripe fruits with further hints of black cherry and cassis enhanced by dark fruited fragrances and a touch of sweet spice. The elegance and finesse of the wine is further supported by a complex register of lush, fresh berry flavours, coffee bean, mocha and subtle soft grilled new oak notes. On the palate it displays a luscious fine fruit attack with a succulent crunchy florality, waves of dark plums and chocolate that spreads generously across the mouth with intensity and leads to a sleek graphite like finish. It is a wine of classic structure and a touch of mystique that promises well for the future.

Producer Profile

Clos Cantenac is a small but seductive 6 hectares property made up of four main parcels of vines carefully planted on an exceptional “terroir” of deep gravels, sand and clay over broken limestone situated close to the prehistoric “Megalith de Pierrefitte”.

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 92

This wine is made from 100% Merlot and is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for 12 months. The alcohol came in at 14%. The 2019 Clos Cantenac comes galloping out of the glass with bold, energetic scents of baked black cherries, mulberries and crushed blackberries plus hints of menthol, chocolate box, pencil lead and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with juicy black fruit, framed by rounded, approachable tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and graceful. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 12/06/2020]
