Château Chantemerle 2023 – Médoc Cru Bourgeois

The nose is discreet and closed. It expresses notes of tangy fruits (morello cherry, blackcurrant, wild plum, red cherry), associated with a hint of chocolate (morello cherry in chocolate, cocoa), chocolate with mint and liquorice, which appear after aeration, as well as with a touch of peony and wild rose in the background. The woody notes are integrated. The palate expresses a certain fermentative hint (stewed cherry, crushed red plum), as well as flavors of fresh fruit (morello cherry, blackcurrant, black plum in the background), slightly herbaceous (pine needles, mint) and woody (fresh wood in the background). ). The finish is medium long, fruity and juicy, with noticeable tannins and some astringency. Nice salivating acidity and good bitterness on the finish.
