Cantemerle is one of the rare crus-classés to hail from Haut-Médoc – a 5th growth located just beyond AOC Margaux’s borders. Unsurprisingly, it drinks quite a bit like a Margaux; it’s Cabernet-based (yet softer than a Pauillac or Saint-Estephe), and with age it develops an expressive perfume, with good complexity and a slightly ‘sauvage’ quality to its fruit.

But, because it’s not a true Margaux, Cantemerle is perennially undervalued on the market, which makes it a bit of an “insider’s” wine. We love that. We also love how, despite its ability to age, Cantemerle tends to be a little softer and more approachable than it’s cru classé peers.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"A wine of notable precision, persistence and class, the 2014 Cantemerle is outstanding. Sweet tobacco, licorice, red cherry and dried savory herbs are some of the signatures. Medium in body and lively, the 2014 captures the best attributes of the year. This is a positively stellar showing." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 88
"The 2014 Cantemerle has a conservative, cedar and graphite-tinged bouquet that needs to develop more fruité. It is focused but just needs more intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin on the entry. Clean red berry fruit here with moderate weight, leading to a slightly chewy finish that will hopefully evolve more nuance and personality with time. To be honest, I was expecting a little more considering the vintage." -Neal Martin

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Bright and racy, with red currant and plum fruit lined with a lively tang of iron that streaks through the finish. A touch taut, but should unwind nicely with modest cellaring. Best from 2018 through 2024."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"While the wine does have a strongly dry element, it also has a creamy, black currant background that shows promise for the future. With great acidity offering freshness, this wine will balance well." -Roger Voss
