“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 dark 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. It does, however, have a spicy note that reveals itself on the finish!” (Decanter 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 rely on the previous vintages, which showcase the full finesse of which this vast 90-hectare terroir is capable. Prices remain affordable, and the wine is in fine form in 2019. 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 are regularly recognized by 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-red color. Bold and supple on the palate, the wine then builds in intensity, developing a full-bodied, rich texture supported by fine, velvety tannins and a skillfully balanced oak influence.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Philippe Dambrine has recently 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 have gained added depth and definition, clearly establishing it as one of the best values in the entire Médoc. The work in the vineyard and the winemaking and blending choices made in recent years are paying off. Now is the time to enjoy them, especially since the aging potential is remarkable, as we have often seen.
