Notes from the producer:

"2005 was a stunning vintage of great sunshine, which produced an atypical Cantemerle. Unexpected aromas of coffee and caramel accompany an opulent presence on the palate; the attack is smooth and impressions of roundness persist through the finish. Still, the wine resists aging, preserving a slight firmness which balances the softness of the super-ripe tannins. This wine can continue to age in a good cellar, but it is already delicious with a cut of roast beef or hearty beef stew."

Winemaking
The grapes are hand-sorted before crushing. Fermentation: 6-8 days at 26 -28°C. Maceration: 28 -30 days. Aged for 12 months in french oak barrels (medium toast) which 50% are new. An ultra light fining is done but no filtration occurs prior to bottling.
