Petit Cantenac 2020 is a red blend from the Saint-Émilion region, composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage reflects a concentrated year marked by low yields due to summer drought conditions and early September heat spikes. The wine exhibits aromas of black plum and dark berries, with subtler notes of fig and prune. It demonstrates a juiciness on the palate, complemented by ripe tannins and a hint of savouriness in the finish.

The 2020 Petit Cantenac is made from 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has 14% alcohol and is aging in barriques, 40% new, for 12 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slides effortlessly out of the glass with bright, vivacious notes of kirsch, baked plums and black raspberries, plus touches of Provence herbs and damp soil. The medium-bodied palate is softly textured and refreshing, delivering dried herbs-laced red and black berry layers and a savory finish. 16,000 bottles are due to be made. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Some new oak.Deepest purple-crimson. Warm, sweet aroma of damsons and plums, sweet spice and violets as it opens. Very Merlot. Plus a hint of charry, spicy oak adding a more savoury aspect. As well as a leather-like note that is surprising on a young wine. Firm, chewy, thickly textured tannins but remarkably smooth. Rich, broad in the mouth, just slightly lacking freshness though the savoury character helps to make up for it. Dark-chocolate-like aftertaste. (JH)
Vinous
The 2020 Petit Cantenac offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of dates and licorice developing with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy structure, that licorice element coming through again, and finishes fresh, sweet and slightly raisiny. Fine. Neal Martin1st May 2021
