Château Cantemerle

Traces of the fortress of Cantemerle date back to the 13th century, and it was at the beginning of the 18th century that the vineyard really appeared almost in its present form.

This is a fifth Grand Cru Classé following the prestigious 1855 list, presented to Emperor Napoléon III.

The vineyard extends over approximately 90 hectares on a soil and subsoil of Garonne gravel and a silico-gravelly context Rare and the average age of the vines is 40 years. Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Merlot noir 40%, Petit Verdot 5% and Cabernet Franc 5%. The yield is 600,000 bottles depending on the vintage, i.e. 6,500 to 6,800 bottles per hectare.

All grapes are harvested by hand, and the small berries are sorted in the winery. Vatting lasts around 28 to 30 days, then the wine is aged in new barrels for around half of it, for 16 months before bottling.

Description Château Cantemerle 2011.

A little nugget from Haut-Médoc, Château Cantemerle has a singular character. Strongly marked by its terroir, it possesses a style that is both powerful and refined. With its fresh, spicy nose, the 2011 Cantemerle is surprisingly complex. Hints of roasting, cedar and blackcurrant mingle in the glass to our delight. On the palate, the relatively round attack evolves on firm, yet perfectly integrated tannins. Harmonious, it can be drunk now or cellared for a few more years to see it blossom further.
