FR Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé AOC

Located in the southern part of the Bordeaux Medoc peninsula, Château Cantemerle, designated a great growth in the famous 1855 classification, thanks to its unique terroir, produces complex well-balanced and refined wines.

The 2017 Cantemerle is deeply colored with reserved, sustained aromas…everything which indicates a bottle with a future, a very good bottle indeed. Nonetheless, those who appreciate young wines will find much to enjoy: with careful aerating in a decanter, pleasant blackberry aromas become evident. The wine shows good fruit that is both youthful and fresh.
