The 2nd wine of Chateau Cantermerle. This is wonderful value claret. Great precision and weight with a beautiful purity of fruit and prominent minerality. This is drinking well now.

Supple, medium-bodied Pinot Noir showing delicious lifted fruit. Great level of concentration and deep colour with the perfect levels of ripeness, a great vintage! Food match: grilled and roasted meats.

It goes marvellously well with meat, vegetarian dishes and cheese.

Beautiful concentration of fruits and aromas. Full-bodied with a complex palette of flavours ranging from the scents of the guarrigue to aromatic herbs such as thyme, sage, juniper and rosemary. Creamy and velvety with aromas of fresh crushed berries and strawberries. The perfect Corbieres.
