Vintage 2021

Château Moulin de Grenet, Chateau Cantenac

Product Code: ME01ZZRC

Tasting Notes

2018 : beautiful deep color, aromatic, ripe black and red fruits (plum, red berries), settled, mild spices, light earth and oak influence. Generous mouthfeel, then welcome freshness and balance at the core, with a fine texture, ripe tanins, dark fruits, a touch of minerality and spices on the edges. Expressive finish, nice balance, with good length. Very enjoyable. Settled wine, still developing.
