"It's hard not to love it for its fruity character and easy-drinking style! ~ Decanter "
"Wonderfully aromatic and expressive on the nose, the aromas instantly burst from the glass. So attractive. Juicy red fruits - strawberries, raspberries and red cherries - quite bright and a pleasant contrast to the black fruits. Lively and pleasant, this wine is light with underlying spicy notes that give it a certain structure and backbone. It's hard not to like it for its fruity character and easy-drinking style. It does, however, have a spicy note that comes through on the finish" (Decanter 2022).

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Like its neighbors in the Ludon-Macau area, Cantemerle suffered from bad weather in 2017 and 2018, putting a slight halt to its magnificent qualitative progress. All the more reason to have confidence in previous years, showing all the finesse of which this vast 90-hectare terroir is capable. Prices remain affordable and the cru is in good shape for 2019. The arrival of a new director, Laure Canu, marks the start of a new cycle for the estate.

Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2023) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A pleasant second wine with an expressive, fruity bouquet and a supple, smooth, well-balanced palate. 2024-2028
About the domain :
Intense and complex, with notes of red fruit and vanilla, the bouquet is as elegant as the ruby color. Straightforward and supple on the attack, the palate then rises to develop an imposing, fleshy body, underpinned by fine, velvety tannins and skilfully measured oak.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Philippe Dambrine has just handed over the reins of this classic Médoc estate to Laure Canu. While Cantemerle has always produced elegant, easily digestible wines, those produced over the last ten years have added extra depth and definition, clearly positioning it as one of the best value for money estates in the Médoc. The work done in the vineyard and the winemaking and blending choices made over the last few years are paying off. We must take advantage of this, especially as the ageing potential is remarkable, as we can often verify.

About the wine:
Inviting, fruity bouquet of good intensity. On the palate, the wine stands out for its balance. Slender, well-supported by tannins, with good aromatic expression. An elegant, sapid wine. 2023-2029
