"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cantemerle sports plenty of oak, herbs and freshly tilled soil over a core of black currants and baked plums, as well as hints of pencil lead and grilled meat. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely freshness and length." (Wine Advocate 2020) Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Like its neighbors in the Ludon-Macau area, Cantemerle suffered from bad weather in 2017 and 2018, putting a slight halt to its magnificent qualitative progress. All the more reason to have confidence in previous years, showing all the finesse of which this vast 90-hectare terroir is capable. Prices remain affordable and the cru is in good shape for 2019. The arrival of a new director, Laure Canu, marks the start of a new cycle for the estate.

Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Intense and complex, with notes of red fruit and vanilla, the bouquet is as elegant as the ruby color. Straightforward and supple on the attack, the palate then rises to develop an imposing, fleshy body, underpinned by fine, velvety tannins and skilfully measured oak.

About the wine:
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cantemerle sports plenty of oak, herbs and freshly tilled soil over a core of baked cassis and plums, as well as hints of pencil lead and grilled meat. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely freshness and length.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Philippe Dambrine has just handed over the reins of this classic Médoc estate to Laure Canu. While Cantemerle has always produced elegant, easily digestible wines, those produced over the last ten years have added extra depth and definition, clearly positioning it as one of the best value for money estates in the Médoc. The work done in the vineyard and the winemaking and blending choices made over the last few years are paying off. We must take advantage of this, especially as the ageing potential is remarkable, as we can often verify.

About the wine:
Barley, walnut and blackberry character. Full-bodied. Smooth tannins and savory finish. A little lean and tight now and needs some time to settle. Better after 2020.
