"Located in the southern part of the Medoc peninsula near the villages of Macau and Ludon, Château Cantemerle, designated a Fifth Growth in the famous 1855 classification, has deep gravel soil. Thanks its unique terroir, Cantemerle produces complex, well-balanced, and refined wines. After belonging to the Villeneuve (1579-1892) and Dubos (1892-1980) families, the château was acquired in 1981 by Groupe SMA, a large mutual insurance company in the construction and civil engineering sector. The estate's long history is reflected in the château's distinctive architecture and the magnificent grounds that surround it. Cantemer exudes romantic charm and its wine has a magical feel to it!" cantemerle.com
Chateau Cantemerle Haut Medoc 5eme Cru Classe 150cl 2016
13% abv
Vol- 150cl
“The 2016 Cantemerle has a ripe, juicy bouquet with blackberry, black olive and blueberry fruit, quite floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite high-toned in terms of acidity, sapid, with a welcome briny finish. More-ish and great value. Yes please!” Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. Drink 2027-2042
