The term "Cartier Classic Red Wine 75cl" appears to refer to an accessible, popular brand of red table wine, often sold as a "Premium Red Wine" in certain markets.
There may be some regional confusion with the high-end French wine Château Cartier, which is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Bordeaux). However, the "Classic Red Wine" most commonly available at mass-market retailers is a different product.
Here is a summary of the mass-market Cartier Classic Red Wine:

Note on Château Cartier (High-End French Wine)

- Region: Bordeaux (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru).
- Varietals: Typically a Red Bordeaux Blend, with a high percentage of Merlot (e.g., 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc).
- Tasting Notes (Château Cartier, e.g., 2020 vintage): Much more complex, featuring aromas and flavors of violets, plums, black currants, dark chocolate, savory spices, cedar, and soft, silky tannins.
