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.

The Château

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.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
