Known for being one of the finest wines in the Haut Medoc and one of the best value Cru Classés, Chateau Cantemerle remains one of the most obvious wines to buy every year, and in 2022 the property has reached new heights creating a wine of plenitude and pleasure. It is considered by many to be the ‘Gateway to the Medoc’. With new General Manager Laure Canu (previously Deputy General Manager at Angelus), the estate is being fast-tracked to success with new winemaking and oenotourism facilities already under construction. Located on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, this magnificent Grand Cru Classé Haut-Médoc testifies to a rich wine history with origins dating back to the 1354. The estate spans 200ha in total with 98ha planted to vines in silicio-gravelly soil, giving the wine a beautiful dark colour with a lot of richness and concentration. Since 2013, the property has eliminated the use of chemical products, and continues to develop the natural areas of the estate through the planting of hedges, introduction of beehives, and diversifying the species of fauna and flora, including the planting of up to 300 new trees per year. This timeless wine will give pleasure in its young age or can be kept over the years to become even more refined. A sure bet, given its great price. Isn’t this what Bordeaux En Primeur is all about…?
