The estate

Château Cantemerle

Château Cantemerle, nestled in the southern part of the Médoc, is a historic estate that earned its prestigious Grand Cru Classé status in the 1855 classification. Its vineyards, characterized by deep gravel soils, have been tended for centuries, blending tradition with a profound respect for the unique terroir of Macau. The 2009 vintage is widely regarded as a legendary year for Bordeaux, defined by a glorious summer that allowed the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot to reach perfect maturity. This specific harvest reflects the estate's signature elegance, offering a seamless integration of power and refined aromatic complexity.
