Chateau Cantenac Petit Cantenac
Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe
1 x 75cl Bottles
a wine that is drinking beautifully now and should continue to do so for 5-10 years to come. A classic right bank blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it was aged in 40% new/60% “second pass” French oak barrels for 20 months. In the glass it displays incredible concentration and has an opaque dark crimson with dark purple highlights, and while there’s a hint of vanilla and warm oak spice right out of the gate it is nicely integrated with notes of black plum, blackberry, cassis, damp violets, licorice, cigar tobacco, raw cacao, and a dark, crushed-gravel and clay soil character. Medium-plus in body, with silky, well-burnished tannins and perfect freshness for a wine of this size, it has that “expensive-tasting” sheen to it without feeling like some sweet confection. The finish has an iron-tinged savor to it that roots it in the soil and leaves you craving some protein—be it a butter-basted steak from a cast-iron skillet or perhaps this recipe for braised beef shanks. It’s definitely an “impress your boss/father-in-law” kind of red that will drink beautifully for several years to come. That said, it offers tremendous pleasure now and needs only about 30 minutes in a decanter to show its stuff. Serve it around 60 degrees in Bordeaux stems and savor it slowly.

Saint Estephe, 2015
1 x 75cl Bottles
***Silver Medal Concours de Bordeaux***
A prestigious property of the famous Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Médoc, the Château Tour de Pez confirms its rank among the best Crus Bourgeois estates of the Right Bank of the Bordeaux region.
With a vineyard of 30 hectares in production, located on the magnificent terroir of Graves Girondines and clay-limestone marl soils, Château Tour de Pez is one of the more peculiar properties of the Médoc due to the proportion of varietals planted. While the emblematic red grape of the Left Bank, Cabernet Sauvignonrepresents 40% of the vineyard's surface, Merlot accounts for 55% and is supplemented by 5% of Petit Verdot. The vineyard is densely planted (from 8,500 to 10,000 vines / ha) and extreme care is taken to treat the vine in a way that respects the environment. The property does not use chemical pesticides and the vines are green-pruned in order to allow the wines of Château Tour de Pez to stand out as some of the most respected Crus Bourgeois.
