Clos Cantenac 6-Bottle Mixed Case
Bordeaux 6-Bottle Mixed case
Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 2019
The 2019 Cantemerle has a fruit-driven bouquet with opulent blackberry and blueberry fruit, certainly one of the most floral in the flight with pressed violets developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, fleshy and rounded, though I am looking for more tension and precision on the finish. This is a really fabulous Cantemerle that surely represents outstanding value. No excuse not to have this in your cellar. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. - Neal Martin, Vinous
Clos Cantenac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020
"The 2020 Clos Cantenac is made from 100% Merlot. It has 14.5% alcohol and is aging in barriques, 40% new, for 12 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with compelling notes of plum preserves, boysenberries and blueberry compote, plus wafts of underbrush, red rosesand Sichuan pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with juicy black fruits, supported by soft tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a peppery lift. 8,000 bottles made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac Saint Emilion 2016
"The 2016 Clos Cantenac is a 100% Merlot picked from 21 September to 7 October, aged in 45% new oak barrels for 12 months. It has a concentrated bouquet with blackberry and cassis notes, just a hint of raisin, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with black cherries, blueberry and loganberry. I appreciated the tannin structure here and the acidic drive that reins in the finish and keeps it on track. This should be well worth investigating once in bottle." - Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac L’Exuberance Rosé 2021
Clos Cantenac L’exuberance Rosé 2021 ,"An old-vine Sémillon bottling interpreted through the lens of the Hunter Valley, the 2021 L'Exuberance Blanc is a medium-bodied, taut and chiseled wine evocative of waxy lemon, white flowers and crisp pear. Given the variety and this intriguing cuvée's taut, linear style, I suspect it will reward bottle age. It's bottled under glass rather than cork." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Clos Cantenac Saint Emilion 2014
The 2014 was produced from 100% Merlot that was hand-harvested block by block and matured in French oak barrels for 20 months (40% was new, 60% was 2nd use). This is a deep, rich and expressive wine, with lovely notes ripe red berries, mocha, truffle, spices and graphite. It is an excellent option for earlier drinking but has the credentials to keep a few more years.
Château Tertre Rôteboeuf Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2005
"A sensational effort, Tertre Roteboeuf’s 2005, along with the 2000, is one of the most profound wines made by Francois Mitjavile. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a stunning perfume of sweet black currants, jammy cherries, licorice, and spice. Full-bodied and opulent with high, but remarkably sweet, velvety tannins as well as a stunning texture and a finish that lasts nearly a minute, this prodigious St.-Emilion should be drinkable in 3-4 years, and last for two decades or more. Kudos to the proprietor." - Robert M. Parker, Jr, The Wine Advocate
Château Canon Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2017
"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Canon bursts from the glass with expressive notions of baked black cherries, kirsch, plum preserves and black raspberries plus hints of red roses, Ceylon tea, black olives and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant and refined, with a soft, finely grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. The blend is 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc and it was aged for 18 months in French oak, 50% new." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
Château Tour Sieujean, Pauillac 2017
"The 2017 Tour Sieujean has a well-defined bouquet with focused blackberry and cranberry fruit, a touch of pencil lead in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a crisp line of acidity, nicely poised with a touch of blackberry and cassis towards the finish. I have rated wines from this estate highly in the past and this is another very commendable wine from this little-known estate." - Neal Martin, Vinous
Château Teynac, Saint-Julien 2016
"Château Teynac is a Saint Julien unlike any other. Its grape varieties are traditional for Medoc wines: a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (28%) and Petit Verdot (2%): a proportion varying slightly depending on the vintage at the time of blending. The vines used to produce it are surrounded by those classified as Cru which constitute 95% of the appellation." - Winemaker's notes
Château La Croix Saint-Vincent, Pomerol 2017
Petit Cantenac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020
"The 2020 Petit Cantenac is made from 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has 14% alcohol and is aging in barriques, 40% new, for 12 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slides effortlessly out of the glass with bright, vivacious notes of kirsch, baked plums and black raspberries, plus touches of Provence herbs and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate is softly textured and refreshing, delivering dried herbs-laced red and black berry layers and a savory finish. 16,000 bottles are due to be made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
Château L’Innocence de Séraphine Pomerol 2020
"This wine is made from 100% Merlot and is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for 12-14 months, with a portion fermented and aging in a 1,000-liter clay amphora. The alcohol came in at 14%. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Séraphine sashays out of the glass with gorgeous notes of candied violets, dark chocolate-covered cherries and raspberry preserves over a core of juicy black plums and fertile loam, plus a waft of truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with earth-laced muscular black fruits, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral-tinged. 3,200 bottles produced." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate

Château Séraphine Pomerol 2019
Château Séraphine Pomerol 2019, "This wine is made from 100% Merlot and is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for 12-14 months. The alcohol came in at 14%. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Séraphine opens with the most beautiful perfume of plum preserves, violets, clove oil and cinnamon stick over a core of blueberry compote, Morello cherries and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black and blue fruit preserves with a fantastic line of freshness and beautifully ripe, plush tannins, finishing with loads of mineral and spicy sparks." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
