The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Château Cantemerle, an audacious success of the Médoc, clearly positions itself as one of its most desirable and accessible signatures. Especially in recent years, where colossal efforts have allowed the estate to secure its place among the elite of the Médoc's Classified Growths.

While Cantemerle has always produced elegant and digestible wines, those crafted in the last decade have added an extra layer of depth and definition, representing one of the best quality-price ratios in the entire Médoc.
Wine Les 2018 red Allées de Cantemerle is a seductive, juicy, and fleshy wine. The appealing nose, already quite open, delivers aromas of licorice and a balsamic tone, with beautifully ripe grapes in this perfectly managed sunny vintage. The juicy structure is very accessible, offering a comfortable and ready-to-drink experience.
Vinification Hand-harvested, 100% de-stemmed, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
