TASTING COMMENTS
Steven Spurrier describes the 2014 vintage as a “joy to taste”. Château Chantemerle 2014 drinks beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon imparts fresh plum flavors and a velvety texture, while Merlot lends ripe cassis and black cherry.
Well-balanced and smooth, this charming red is delicious on its own or pairs perfectly with roast pork or mature cheeses.
