Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The 2010 vintage brought out all the best in Cantemerle’sterroir. A deep color sets the tone for this wine: complex,concentrated and long in the mouth, with a finish whichjust doesn’t finish, leaving an impression of great aromaticrichness. The wine’s dense structure is masterfully controlled, showing elegance without heaviness, and a liveliness highlighting itsfreshness. Swirling brings the wine alive in the glass, witharomas of spice, tobacco, black currant and plums. Thisis Cantemerle’s natural character, with the added richness a great vintage brings.

James Suckling
A wine with blueberry and mineral aromas follows through to a full body, with fine tannins and a juicy finish. Best for years from here. Needs at least three years of bottle age to soften. Could be better than 2009 in the long run.
-
Wine Enthusiast
A great success for this southern Médoc chateau, this is fine, elegant and perfumed. It bursts with a black fruit flavor, balanced by smooth tannins and acidity.
-
Wine Spectator
Offers a sappy feel, with deliciously pure notes of kirsch and blackberry preserves. Lightly toasted spice and singed anise accents lead to the long, graphite-fueled finish. Should age gracefully.
-
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Cantemerle gives up notes of cassis, baked plums and fragrant earth with hints of pencil shavings and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of bright, juicy fruit with a lively backbone and a bit of chew to the finish.

Located in the southern part of Bordeaux Medoc peninsula near the villages of Macau and Ludon, Chateau Cantemerle, designated a great growth in the famous 1855 Classification, has deep gravel soil. Thanks to its unique terroir, Cantemerle produces complex, well-balanced, and refined wines.
After belonging to the Villeneuve (1579-1892) and Dubos (1892-1980) families, the chateau was acquired in 1981 by Groupe SMA, a large mutual insurance company in the construction and civil engineering sector. The estate's long history is reflected in the chateau's distinctive architecture and the magnificent grounds that surround it. Cantemerle exudes romantic charm and its wine has a magical feel to it!
