Allées de Cantemerle is the second wine of Château Cantemerle, fifth growth of the distinguished Grands Crus Classés of 1855. Produced in the Haut-Médoc appellation, it reflects the same meticulous care and traditional expertise as its illustrious sibling. The estate lies in the southern Médoc, near Macau, where deep gravel soils nurture Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot of remarkable finesse.

The wine embodies the elegance and balance that define Cantemerle’s style, offering immediate charm and graceful maturity. Grapes are hand-harvested from younger vines, with careful selection ensuring pristine fruit quality. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled vats, preserving freshness and aromatic purity. Aged in French oak barrels, a portion new, the wine gains subtle structure and gentle spice without overpowering its fruit character.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, Allées de Cantemerle reveals a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections. The bouquet opens with expressive aromas of cassis, ripe blackberries, and redcurrant, lifted by hints of violet and cedar. Gentle notes of tobacco leaf, mocha, and sweet spice add depth and intrigue. The palate delivers supple tannins, refined texture, and an alluring harmony of fruit and oak. Layers of dark plum, cherry, and forest fruits mingle with a touch of graphite and savoury earth.

The finish is long, silky, and beautifully poised, demonstrating the estate’s dedication to balance and finesse. This wine captures the essence of classic Médoc character in a style that offers earlier approachability than the grand vin. It rewards those seeking refinement without austerity and remains an authentic expression of its terroir.

Allées de Cantemerle pairs effortlessly with roast lamb, venison, or aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature to enhance its aromatic complexity. With cellaring potential of up to ten years, it evolves gracefully while retaining freshness and precision.

Elegant, structured, and inviting, Allées de Cantemerle stands as a refined ambassador of Haut-Médoc tradition and timeless Bordeaux craftsmanship.
