TASTING NOTES

Chateau Candeley Les 5C Bordeaux 2022 is a masterful blend that celebrates the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the Petit Family, winemakers since 1890 in the renowned Entre-deux-Mers terroir. This exquisite Bordeaux captures the essence of a remarkable vintage, earning 95 Points from Decanter, a testament to its outstanding quality and complexity.

Composed equally of 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 20% Petit Verdot, this wine showcases a harmonious balance of Bordeaux’s classic varietals, each contributing unique layers of flavor and structure. The 2022 vintage is celebrated for its ideal growing conditions, resulting in grapes with exceptional concentration and vibrant character.

The winemaking process combines tradition with innovation: a mechanical harvest enhanced by an optical sorting system ensures only the finest grapes are selected plot by plot. Cold soaking for 48 to 96 hours precedes a carefully controlled fermentation at temperatures between 22 and 28°C, followed by a post-fermentation maceration with micro-oxygenation to develop depth and elegance. The wine then undergoes lees aging for 3 to 8 months and further refinement in underground vats, preserving freshness while adding complexity.

Delivered in a refined wooden 6-pack when purchasing six bottles, Chateau Candeley Les 5C Bordeaux 2022 offers a sophisticated presentation perfect for gifting or collection. This wine is an excellent example of Bordeaux’s versatility, combining vibrant fruit, subtle spice, and well-integrated tannins that promise a memorable tasting experience.

Experience the legacy of Entre-deux-Mers through a wine that respects its terroir, nurtures biodiversity, and exemplifies the art of Bordeaux blending.

95/100

One of three Chateaux in the Entre-Deux-Mers under the auspices of vigneron Sebastien Petit. Les 5C represents the five red varieties grown on this estate, in this iteration 20 per cent each of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot – a genuine regional snapshot. Aromatics come straight out of the traditional Cabernet playbook, a crushed elderberry vibe with the faintest of green bell pepper in the background. Old world/ old school. In the mouth these deliver a delicious harmony with fine, palate-coating tannins, long finishing and ultimately most satisfying.

Impressive cedar and spicy oak intermingle nicely with a fusion of juicy black plums and blackberries. Bold and structured with smooth tannins and a long, dreamy finish.
