Château Cantemerle Les Allées de Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 2020
Elegant Bordeaux Red Wine from a Historic Fifth Growth Estate
Crafted by esteemed winemaker Gregory Thibault, the Château Cantemerle Les Allées de Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 2020 is a refined expression of the Left Bank of Bordeaux, showcasing the classic character of Haut-Médoc wines. As the second wine of the renowned Château Cantemerle—an 1855 Grand Cru Classé—this vintage offers superb value and an authentic Médoc experience.
Tasting Notes
With 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Merlot, this wine displays a sophisticated structure and remarkable finesse. The nose opens with elegant aromas of blackcurrant, dried tobacco leaf, and hints of cedar. On the palate, it begins softly, unfolding layers of dark berry fruit, subtle spice, and a whisper of graphite, complemented by silky tannins. The finish is long and graceful, leaving a bright note of fresh raspberry that lingers beautifully.

| Winery | The grapes were manually harvested, destemmed, hand-sorted and then crushed. Fermentation took place in wooden conical frustum vats, which allow an intense, passive maceration of the cap and grape solids in the juice. Fermentation with selected yeasts lasted for six to eight days at 26 to 28 °C, followed by maceration lasting 30 days. The wine was aged for 12 months in medium-toasted, three-year-old French oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration and just a very light fining. |
