Left Cabernet Sauvignon

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 90
"The 2022 Cantemerle presents a relatively light but defined nose with notes of blackberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of undergrowth emerging with aeration. The medium-bodied palate features chewy tannins on the entry and a bit of rusticity, yet it offers a pleasant, lightly spiced finish." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 2022 Cantemerle offers up attractive aromas of minty blackberries, blueberries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and ample palate that's layered and textural, with a rich core of fruit largely concealing plenty of youthfully firm structuring tannin. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this is a strong effort for this estate, situated on fine gravel soils in the southern Médoc." -William Kelley

Jancis Robinson

JR 16.5
"Fragrant and floral. Fresh with a filigree finesse of tannin. Appetising fruit. Clean and long. A gentle hand on the tiller but deceptively structured all the same. Harmonious."

Decanter

D 94
"Clean and clear, immediately quite sleek and focused on the palate. Ripe and round but maintains direction from start to finish with succulence and supple fruit. Very lovely and very drinkable, clean and clear with balance and harmony. Dark fruit, cool freshness, mouthwatering acidity, slight graphite and flint touches and really well worked tannins. Impressive. Will be very enjoyable and easy to drink."
