Profile & Story

Les Allees de Cantemerle is the second wine of Chateau Cantemerle, a Fifth Growth (1855 Classification) estate in Macau, Haut-Medoc, with records of wine production dating to at least the 14th century. The estate farms about 90 hectares, producing roughly 25,000 cases of the grand vin and 12,500 cases of Les Allees annually. Les Allees is made primarily from the estate's younger vines, using the same winemaking approach as the grand vin, with a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot (exact proportions vary by vintage).

Tasting Notes

Described by the chateau as 'all in delicacy' -- a generous, charming wine with the same personality as the grand vin but a shorter aging curve, made to be enjoyed without extended cellaring.
