Saint-Émilion – Bordeaux

Château Cantin 2022 is a structured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru composed primarily of Merlot, with supporting contributions from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are grown on clay-limestone slopes and harvested at optimal maturity. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with precise temperature control to preserve varietal purity, followed by 12 to 16 months of maturation in French oak barrels, about 30% new. The wine shows dense blackberry and plum fruit, with fresh acidity and firm tannins that suggest strong aging potential. Subtle notes of cedar and crushed stone underline its origin and disciplined vinification.
