2016 Les Allées de Cantemerle, Haut Médoc
2016 Les Allées de Cantemerle, Haut Médoc
Got a second? Because today, Mr.Wheeler’s got pure, Haut-Médoc 5ème cru classé class on offer for less than £23: ‘Les Allées de Cantemerle’, the superb second wine of renowned Château Cantemerle. A beautifully structured, fruit-driven cabernet-led blend that’s been sourced from the estate’s younger vines and made with all the in-house savoir-faire this iconic estate has to offer. Without the grand vin price tag.
And with today’s offer, you savour ‘Les Allées’ from the stunning back-to-back vintages that were 2015 and 2016. Vintages which, after seven and eight years of age, are now in a rather gorgeous drinking place.
At decanter.com Jane Anson says of the 2016 vintage “…the best Médoc wines since 2010…”, and gives 2015 Left Bank wines a 4.5/5 rating, where “…there are plenty of good options at Cru Bourgeois level.”
But ‘Les Allées’ is more than this.
It’s one of the greater second wines of the Médoc, in fact, and certainly no secret to claret-lovers who take good advantage of what superb value and early-drinking these cuvées give. A second wine by which claret-lovers will add that supreme touch of class and quality to al fresco dining and social gatherings this summer.
The 2016 Les Allees de Cantemerle is a straightforward, fruity wine to drink now and over the next few years. This is a solid showing from Cantemerle's second wine.
