The 2021 vintage produced a cooler, "old-school" style of Bordeaux, which in the case of Cantemerle (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot) resulted in a savory, aromatic wine. It is noted for its high acidity and refined tannins.
About Winery
Château Cantemerle's story is a blend of historical events, family legacy, and the enduring allure of Bordeaux wines. The property, a Fifth Growth in Haut-Médoc, has a rich history stretching back to the Middle Ages. It began as part of a defensive fortification line, later evolving into a vineyard with ties to the Pons de Cantemerle family.
