Château Cantin Saint Emilion Grand Cru - Les Grands Chais de France

The Château Cantin Saint Emilion Grand Cru is a first-class red wine. It offers a wonderfully dense, crimson color. Swiveling the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which is evident in clear church windows at the edge of the glass. To the nose, this Château Cantin red wine reveals all manner of dried plums, dried fruit, violets, roses and fruit breads. As if that were not already impressive, Mediterranean herbs, juniper and lovage join the mix due to the aging in small wooden barrels.

On the palate, Château Cantin's Saint Emilion Grand Cru opens pleasantly aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an immensely velvety texture. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux, more precisely from Saint-Emilion, finally impresses with considerable reverberation.

Vinification of the Saint Emilion Grand Cru from Chateau Cantin

The basis for the powerful Saint Emilion Grand Cru from Bordeaux are grapes from the grape variety Merlot. The berries for this red wine from France are harvested exclusively by hand after ensuring optimal ripeness. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Saint Emilion Grand Cru is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
