Château Cantemerle AOC Haut-Médoc 5th Cru Classé

Château Cantemerle is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc — first documented in 1147, classified as a Cinquième Cru Classé in 1855. Behind the name is no museum-like nostalgia, but a winery that has been consistently producing precise, straightforward Bordeaux since the 1960s that clearly reflect their vintage.

In the glass, it shows a classic Haut-Médoc character: dark cassis, ripe blackberry, a hint of graphite, and subtle herbal spice in the background. The palate is focused, with fine tannin structure and a freshness that keeps the wine lively. The finish is concise without heaviness — this is the finesse for which Cantemerle is known.

It is best served at 16–18 °C, preferably decanted an hour beforehand. Suitable food pairings include rack of lamb with a herb crust, braised beef cheeks, or a strong hard cheese like Comté or Tomme de Savoie.

Château Cantemerle

Château Cantemerle has been one of the great classics of the Médoc – and has been for centuries. As a Fifth Cru Classé of 1855, the estate is located in the southernmost tip of the Haut-Médoc, nestled in one of the most beautiful castle parks in the Gironde.

What distinguishes Cantemerle? An elegant signature that runs through every vintage: velvety tannins, dark fruit, and that typical Médoc structure – reliable, without ever becoming boring. A wine that deserves time and gives it back with pleasure.
