Château Cantemerle is one of the historic estates included in the famous 1855 Bordeaux Classification, where it was designated a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru). The estate sits in the Haut-Médoc on gravel soils ideal for Cabernet-based wines.
The 2021 vintage offers classic Bordeaux balance, combining blackcurrant fruit with notes of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. Fine tannins and fresh acidity give the wine elegance and aging potential while remaining approachable with food.
