92 points, “Medium to deep garnet coloured, the 2015 Clos Cantenac delivers pronounced notes of blackberry preserves, crème de cassis and redcurrant jelly with touches of garrigue, lavender, smoked meats and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with expressive red and black fruit preserves, framed by velvety tannins and wonderful freshness, leading to a very long, spicy finish.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac is a relatively new Saint-Émilion, with the 2015 being only their eighth vintage. Their Grand Vin is pure Merlot from the estate’s oldest vines located in two blocks near the winery. This bright and seductive red wine delivers juicy elderberry, praline, blackberry, mocha, black cherry, roasted chestnut, blackcurrant, game, dried herbs, exotic spices and pencil shavings. Complex and hedonistic stuff!
The respected wine critic, Matthew Jukes, says of Clos Cantenac, “I love the mantra here and the fruit and skill has always been top notch. There is the illusive X Factor that everyone searches for and few find.” Steven Spurrier of Decanter agrees, saying “The wines of Clos Cantenac have a good ‘polish’ about them and a fine sense of place.” This sustainably farmed 6-hectare estate is clearly one to keep a careful eye on.
