The 2019 Petit Cantenac is fragrant and understated on the nose, brambly black fruit mixed with briary give way to slightly floral scents, pastille-like purity emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and a zingy salinity. Becoming evermore peppery with aeration, it does not impress in terms of weight, but succeeds in delivering a fresh and vivacious Saint-Émilion with joie-de-vivre.
