Tasting commentary
The 2022 vintage reveals a bouquet of aromas mixed with bright fresh fruit and notes of violet, characteristic of Cantemerle. On the palate, 2022 seduces us with its soft tannins, creamy structure and creaminess that coats the palate. Harmony and balance characterize one of the most accomplished vintages of recent decades. We can already predict a very long life for this wine.
