Nicole Roskam-Brunot is continuing a family passion for winemaking that began in 1936 when her grandfather purchased the Chateau Hermitage near Bordeaux. Soon after, Albert Brunot expanded his winemaking enterprise with the purchase of Chateau Cantenac. This 12.5 hectares (31 acres) vineyard, typical of Saint-Emilion with its soils of sand and gravel, is located West of the medieval village renowned for its ancient buildings, historical monuments, as well as the excellence of the regional wines. At Cantenac fine wines emerge from a synergy of many strengths. Tradition and the latest technology flow hand-in-hand from vineyard management to vinification through aging.

Dark, deep colour with a bouquet of magnificent fruit vanilla oak. More fruit than spices and certainly an attractive taste to the finish.
