Cantemerle other_regions_italy Pierre Lurton and technical director

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

The only cloud on the horizon concerns the winerys ramped up production during a period of economic hard times

there is a sense of a winery changing tack and in my opinion

Suitably rustic and dense in structure

pencil lead and tilled soil
