Chateau Cantemerle, Cru Bourgeois Haut Medoc 2012 wairarapa truffled Bresse chicken or sweetbreadA deep ruby color and aromas lightly highlighting vanilla: this is the first impression. In the mouth the wine is all softness and generosity. This is a classic vintage, soft and supple, full of charm. The palate is predominated by fruit like strawberry and red currant, which evolve to subtle game flavors on the finish. This wine is characterized by an upfront purity and finesse which is already fully satisfying with a cheese souffl or quiche.
