"cru classified in 1855, the château cantemerle extends its vineyard on plots of fine graves bordering the estuary of the gironde. the first traces of wine production date back to about 1350 on this domain which today belongs to the group of mutual insurance of building and public works. the property is magnificent, as much for its park as for its buildings, and particularly cared for in terms of viticulture. at harvest time, the grapes are harvested and carefully sorted by hand before reaching large oak vats in which the production of each plot will be vinified separately. the selections that precede the blending allow to fix the distribution between the first and second wine, a guarantee of rigor and quality for a classified vintage. the wine of château cantemerle is full of charm, developing flavors of black cherry and blackberry. its tannins are silky in the mouth and of good length. pleasant and elegant from the first years, the wine has a good storage potential. it expresses the fullness of its aromas and all its power and complexity after ten years. to the delight of wine lovers, in recent years the wines have evolved towards more suppleness and velvety. an excellent value for money for this classified vintage of high quality."
