Les Allees de Cantermerle
Located in the southern part of the Bordeaux Medoc peninsula near the villages of Macau and Ludon, Chateau Cantemerle, designated as a great growth in the famous 1855 classification, has deep gravel soil. Made mainly from the estate’s younger vines, with a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, the second wine de Cantemerle avoids over-oaking by being aged partly in tank and partly in barrel. It is a generous wine that invites sharing and friendliness even in its youth.

Tasting Notes
Les Allees de Cantemerle 2018 has an attractive dark colour, intense fruit on the nose and a fresh palate, structured and very generous. The tannins are well integrated and their concentration gives length to the fruit. The finish leaves an impression of freshness and liveliness. The wine appears solid and promising, with good length.Vinous, powerful without excess, nicely perfumed, it shows attractive aromatic potential and will continue to improve for several years.
Regional Information
The spring, particularly wet and marked by violent hailstorms, initially gave rise toserious concerns. Then, providentially, exceptionally dry and sunny summer conditions set in as from mid-July and lasted until the end of October. The initial fears thus gradually gave way to sincere optimism as the harvest approached, and finally real enthusiasm after the vinifications.At Cantemerle, the harvest started on 17 September and ended on 6 October.13 days of picking without a drop of rain! The ripeness was there, with the phenolic concentration of a great vintage.
