Cantelaudette Cuvee Prestige Rouge 2016
Chateau Cantelaudette is part of the Bordeaux holdings of the Chatelier family who also own Chateau Fantin. The estate, located in the appellation of Graves de Vayres, was established by the family in 1870. At the time, as was the custom, they planted a variety of crops including grapes. They also manufactured clay and tiles from the quarry located there as well as Quicklime from brick kilns on the property.
The estate is set between the cities of Bordeaux and Libourne in the northern part of the Entre Deux Mers region on a plateau overlooking the Dordogne River. The proximity to both the river and the ocean brings a warming influence that helps to fully ripen the grapes. The Graves de Vayres appellation was officially founded in 1936 although records show its use on actual wine labels as early as 1904. The appellation gets its name from the soils which are predominantly gravel or a mix of sand and gravel. These soils, as well as the microclimate of the region, are particularly suited to Merlot which comprises 75% of the 400 hectares that are planted.
Cantelaudette Cuvée Prestige Rouge 2016 is a blend that showcases the finest grapes of the region. This wine combines the rich flavors of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a harmonious and complex profile. Upon opening a bottle of Cantelaudette Cuvée Prestige Rouge 2016, one is greeted with a deep ruby color that hints at the wine's depth and maturity. The nose is filled with enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums, along with subtle notes of vanilla, cedar, and a hint of tobacco.
Tasting notes:
This wood-aged wine with its rich, jammy Merlot is now just mature. The black fruits and firm tannins are there but have softened into a comfortable relationship. With the smoky character coming through

Château Cantelaudette是Chatelier家族的一部分，他們也擁有Château Fantin。這座酒莊位於Graves de Vayres地區，由家族於1870年建立。當時，按照慣例，他們種植了各種作物，包括葡萄。他們也從酒莊內的石礦中提取黏土和瓦片，並從磚窯生產石灰。
這座酒莊位於波爾多和利布爾之間的Entre Deux Mers地區的北部，俯瞰多爾多涅河。靠近河流和海洋，帶來了溫暖的氣候，有助於完全成熟葡萄。 Graves de Vayres地區於1936年正式成立，儘管記錄顯示早在1904年就有人在實際的酒標上使用了這個地區的名稱。這個地區得名於主要由礫石或砂與礫石混合的土壤。這些土壤以及地區的微氣候非常適合種植梅洛葡萄，梅洛葡萄佔了種植的400公頃中的75%。
Cantelaudette Cuvée Prestige Rouge 2016是一款展示該地區最好葡萄的混釀。這款葡萄酒以梅洛、赤霞珠和品麗珠的豐富風味為特點，呈現出和諧而複雜的特點。打開一瓶Cantelaudette Cuvée Prestige Rouge 2016，您將會看到深紅色的液體，暗示著這款酒的深度與成熟度。香氣散發著成熟的黑莓、黑櫻桃和李子的誘人香氣，以及香草、雪松和一絲煙草的微妙香氣。
品嚐筆記：
這款經過木桶陳釀的葡萄酒搭配著濃鬱的果醬味道，現在剛好成熟。黑色水果和堅實的單寧都在其中，但已經變得柔和而舒適。帶有煙熏特色。
