2020 Clos Cantenac, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

100% Merlot

Martin Krajewski has been here since 2006. As at sister property Ch. Séraphine, there has been a serious level of well-targeted investment. Although on the lower regions of St Emilion, there is a gentle north/south slope to the vineyard, and some interesting components to the soil: both clay and limestone in different sections, as well as gravels and sand. The ’20 is intense, delivered by a bouquet that is initially shy before wisps of raspberry and rich earth escape. The wine is not afraid to show its oak influence either, although this will also be affected by how the sample was prepared. Nevertheless, this is a wine that is maximising all its assets and doing so with considerable skill.
