Description

Château Cantemerle is a renowned winery located in the Haut-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back to the 12th century, the estate is now owned by the SMABTP Group and is considered one of the top producers in the region. The vineyards of Château Cantemerle cover 91 hectares and are planted with a mix of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The terroir is characterized by gravelly soils that provide excellent drainage and impart a unique minerality to the wines.

The winemaking process at Château Cantemerle is a blend of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12-18 months, depending on the vintage.

Château Cantemerle produces a range of wines, including its flagship Grand Vin, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wine is known for its elegance, balance, and complexity, with notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco. The estate also produces a second wine, Les Allées de Cantemerle, which is made from younger vines and is a more approachable style of wine.

Overall, Château Cantemerle is a producer that is steeped in history and tradition, but also embraces modern winemaking techniques to produce wines of exceptional quality. Its wines are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world, and are sure to impress even the most discerning palate. 

Tasting notes

91 Points - The wine Advocate

An elegant, successful 2011, Cantemerle has produced a finesse-styled wine with a dense ruby/purple color as well as copious notes of flowers, mulberries, raspberries and blueberries. With dramatic quality and purity, this medium-bodied effort possesses sweet tannins and a texture that builds incrementally. A lighter-styled, but beautifully crafted, well done 2011, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
