  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2024, Score: 91-93

    Three quarters Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot making up the rest, this is a very sophisticated expression of Cantemerle. The nose is exuberant, displaying a spoonful of red berry compote, smoked nuances, and a touch of sweet strawberry. The palate is completely at ease with itself and is almost nonchalant in expressing more sweetness of fruit and a suppleness that makes it very approachable, even at this early stage.

  • Wine Advocate, April 2024, Score: 88-89

    The 2023 Cantemerle offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, mint and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, round and fleshy palate that's a touch varietal in profile this year.

  • James Suckling, April 2024, Score: 93-94

    This shows focus and balance with a pretty dark-fruit character, as well as hints of blue flowers and stones. Medium-bodied, juicy and vivid with very polished tannins and fresh acidity. Nice center-palate with cabernet character coming through. Firm at the end.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2024, Score: 17+

    I was tempted to give this wine an extra half-point, but I will recheck it after it has been bottled and reserve the right to adjust my score upwards if my thoughts are correct. The palate has plenty of drive, and the flanks are sleek and well-proportioned. My only sticking point is the acidity of the finish, which is raw and unrealised. Let’s see what happens.

One of the only three non-communal classified growths (with La Lagune and Cantenac), Château Cantemerle is located in Macau, a village due south of Margaux. Despite its classic claret spirit, it has an unusual connection to vineyards thousands of miles away. In the early 1980s, much of Cantemerle's Cabernet Franc was changed to Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot by top grafting. Mexican viticulturalists, specialists in this field, were flown in from the Napa Valley to carry out the procedure. Quite an extraordinary project for a ‘mere' Haut Médoc.Read less

Region

Haut-Médoc

The Haut-Médoc is an appellation within the Médoc that stretches along the left bank of the Gironde from Blanquefort in the south to the north of Bordeaux. The region encompasses the more famous communes of St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St-Julien and Margaux. Following the 1855 classification many of its most famous estates were classified and scored as first, second, third, fourth or fifth growths. This was based on their social and commercial positions at the time. Most of these classed growths use the village appellation name, such as Pauillac. However five of these classed growths fell outside a village appellation so take the name Haut-Médoc. Many of the vineyards which are classified as Haut-Médoc may actually also be referred to as Cru Bourgeois wines. These wines have lower permitted yields and so offer great value for money.
