2005

The 2005 vintage united all the conditions necessary for producing a great wine. First, there was the weather. Bearing little comparison with the heat wave of 2003, this summer was marked by an exceptional degree of sunshine, which fully benefitted the grapes. Then there was the quality of the harvest: completely free of rot and disease, the picking took place without haste. Everything was brought in exactly at the right moment, without threat of rain.

The wine already expressed the excellence of this superb year, offering an unctuous composition, stunning length on the palate, a wide aromatic range, and a sumptuous display of ripe fruit. This very promising wine is already remarkable with great balance and a density of tannins that is barely perceptible beneath a beautiful layer of fruitiness. Everything indicates that this is one of the greatest vintages of Cantemerle in the past half-century.
