"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 burst instantly from the glass. So appealing. Juicy red fruits—strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries—are quite vibrant and offer a pleasant contrast to the black fruits. Lively and enjoyable, this wine is light with underlying spicy notes that give it a certain structure and backbone. It’s hard not to love it for its fruity character and easy-drinking style. However, it does have a spicy note that reveals itself on the finish!” (Decanter 2022)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Like its neighbors in the Ludon-Macau sector, Cantemerle suffered from the inclement weather of 2017 and 2018, which temporarily halted its magnificent improvement in quality. All the more reason to trust the vintages from previous years, which showcase the full finesse of which this vast 90-hectare terroir is capable. Prices remain affordable, and the 2019 vintage is in fine form. The arrival of a new director, Laure Canu, marks the beginning of a new chapter for the estate.

Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2023) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the wine:
A second wine that is pleasing both for its expressive, fruity bouquet and its supple, smooth, and well-balanced palate. 2024–2028
About the estate:
Intense and complex, with lovely notes of red fruit and vanilla, the bouquet is as elegant as the ruby color. Frank and supple on the attack, the palate then builds in intensity to reveal an imposing, full-bodied structure, supported by fine, velvety tannins and skillfully balanced oak.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Philippe Dambrine has just handed over the reins to Laure Canu at the helm of this classic Médoc estate. While Cantemerle has always produced elegant, easy-drinking wines, those crafted over the past decade or so offer added depth and definition, clearly positioning it as one of the best values in the entire Médoc. The work in the vineyard and the winemaking and blending decisions made in recent years are paying off. Now is the time to enjoy these wines, especially since their aging potential is remarkable, as we’ve often seen.
