Château Cantemerle, Grand Cru Classé

In the south of the Médoc, 35 minutes from Bordeaux, Château Cantemerle invites you to experience a blend of history, expertise, wine, nature and the art of living:
- visits and experiences based around vines and wine, to feel the full passion of the terroir
- botanical walks and workshops in the Cantemerle forest, an immersion in the heart of ... living things
- 35 hectares of parkland, a haven of biodiversity, ideal for inspiring strolls

With its 1,000-year history, Cantemerle is one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, where vines have been cultivated consistently for over 700 years. This fidelity to time and the land earned it the rank of Grand Cru Classé in 1855.
The elegant château nestles in the heart of 35 hectares of romantic parkland. The grace and soul of Cantemerle are revealed in this unspoilt setting of great natural beauty, where a rich biodiversity (remarkable trees, protected flora and fauna) reflects the estate's commitment. It's not uncommon to spot deer and squirrels at the bend in the path, while birdsong accompanies every step.
Cantemerle combines heritage and innovation, tradition and modernity: the estate retains the majestic cachet of 18th-century architecture and houses state-of-the-art technical facilities. These precision tools are at the service of the know-how of the men and women of the estate, whose expertise enables them to sublimate each parcel to create wines that reflect the subtlest nuances of the terroir.
Cantemerle wines are based on a blend of four great Bordeaux grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc). This alchemy produces harmonious wines with fruity, floral aromas and subtle elegance. Over time, they gain in depth and fleshiness, acquiring the fleshy texture that is the hallmark of great Bordeaux wines. see more
