Château Cantemerle

Château Cantemerle is a wine estate with vineyards spread across rolling hills in the Haut-Médoc region, where varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grow. The property shows the complete path from growing grapes to storing wine in large wooden barrels.

The estate was recognized as a Grand Cru Classé in 1855 and has been among established producers in the Haut-Médoc region ever since. This official classification set standards for quality and reputation that remain important today.

Tastings here show how the wines pair with local dishes, and visitors experience firsthand the connection between wine and regional cooking. Events throughout the year invite guests to share in Bordeaux traditions with locals.

The estate lies near Macau and offers guided tours where visitors can follow wine production from grape selection through storage. Best visited during daytime when sunlight shows the vineyards clearly.

The gravelly soil here creates special growing conditions that give grapes specific qualities. This natural soil composition is a key part of what sets the wine of this region apart.
