Vieux Château des Combes 2000
Information
Château Cantin has been owned by Jean Leprince since 1999. One of the finest terroirs in Saint Emilion, with a single block of 33 hectares of vines, planted on clay-limestone and clay-silica soil, with an iron-rich subsoil. The property is named after the little stream at the base of the hill, the Cantin, which never dries up. Château Cantin is a well-structured wine with an excellent capacity to improve with age. It is made primarily with Merlot (65%), with the addition of some Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Vieux Château des Combes is the second wine of Château Cantin. From the young vines of the domain, it is a wine with a more moderate concentration, to be tasted young after only 2 to 5 years of maturing.
