VINTAGE 2009
TASTING NOTES
The result of a legendary vintage and made almost entirely from Merlot grapes, this is a profound, red-hued wine. The nose unveils generous aromas of overripe blackcurrant, stewed red fruit and prune with earthy, toasty notes. The ripened grapes impart a creamy, dense and silky texture to an elegantly extracted palate. Dense, delicately oaked tannins provide structure and length.
AGEING
Ready for drinking from 2014, with an ageing potential of several years.

VINTAGE 2015
TASTING NOTES
The result of a legendary vintage, this wine has a splendid Bordeaux colour, with purple tints. It opens with an elegant and expressive bouquet still dominated by fresh fruits, aromas of cherry, blackcurrant and plums. On the palate, one can find with pleasure an unctuous, structure balanced by fine and lingering tannins without any harshness. A wine for pleasure.

VINTAGE 2016
TASTING NOTES
The 2016 vintage of Château Calet is a beautiful, deep garnet hue with black and ruby tints, and a generous, elegant bouquet expressive of bilberry and spices. The palate of this rich and concentrated wine offers jammy fruit and refined, lingering tannins. A remarkable and already tantalising wine which holds plenty of promise for the future.
